Giffard Crème de Framboise Raspberry Liqueur

Giffard Crème de Framboise is a French raspberry liqueur that delivers lush, jammy raspberry flavour with just enough tartness to keep it fresh. At 16% ABV, it’s sweet and fruity but still versatile—good neat, in cocktails, or even in dessert applications. Key Specifications Spec Detail Producer Giffard & Cie, Angers, Loire Valley, France.  ABV / Proof 16% ABV  Base Spirit Neutral spirit distilled from sugar beets.  Fruit Source Willamette raspberries (“Williamette raspberries”) macerated to capture fresh raspberry character.  Size / Format Commonly found in 500 ml or 750 ml bottles.  Tasting Profile Sensory Element Notes / Flavours Appearance Clear, deep ruby-red colour; sometimes with orange or amber shades.  Nose / Aroma Fresh raspberries, jammy fruit aroma; slightly spicy or herbal note in the background; a strong natural fruitiness.  Palate / Taste Sweet raspberry jam, pure raspberry flesh flavour; balanced by refreshing tartness; hints of berry skins; mild vanilla or cream rounding (depends on serving / regional descriptions)  Finish / Aftertaste Lingering raspberry sweetness, faint spice or berry skin edge, slight acidity to clean up the finish.  Strengths & Ideal Usage Very approachable fruit flavour; great intensity and clarity in the raspberry profile.
