White mint liqueur, transparent, obtained from essential oils of peppermint. Created in 1885 by Emile Giffard, a pharmacist in Angers, who turned his pharmacy into a distillery.  Emile worked with the Mitcham variety of mint, a plant he found in the south of England and well known of its refreshing flavour & digestive qualities.  •Nose :very nice peppermint aromas. The whole is very pleasant thanks to the fresh and spicy breath that emanates from it. •Tasting notes : fresh and balanced mouth. The flavor of peppermint invades the palate leaving an extreme sensation of freshness Menthe-Pastille is best enjoyed over ice, or as a long drink with still or sparkling water, or in cocktails. Giffard, founded in 1885, we are a five generations family-owned and run liqueurs & syrups producers in France's Loire Valley. Plants are the source of our inspiration.
