Giffard - Creme de Cassis 'Imperial' (70cl, 18%)

Get to know: Giffard Crème de Cassis ‘Impérial’

A richly concentrated French blackcurrant liqueur crafted in the Loire Valley using sustainably grown fruit.

Tasting Note

Giffard Crème de Cassis ‘Impérial’ is an intensely fruity liqueur that delivers proper depth and purity of flavour. Dark red in colour with garnet hues, it opens with aromas that are true to freshly crushed blackcurrants, backed up by hints of red berries, gentle spice and a subtle leafy note. On the palate, this Double Crème de Cassis is smooth and full-bodied, with layers of ripe cassis and vibrant acidity that builds towards a long, powerful finish. A slight, pleasing bitterness from the blackcurrant seeds adds structure and keeps the sweetness beautifully balanced. This is a classic French crème de fruits with serious concentration and elegance.

Top food pairings:

  • Drizzled over vanilla or nougat ice cream
  • Spooned onto lemon or berry sorbet
  • Mixed with Champagne or Crémant for a classic Kir Royale
Kate Says

"This is blackcurrant turned up to eleven. I love a splash in a glass of fizz for an easy Kir Royale, but it’s just as good poured over ice cream when you want a proper grown-up dessert."
