Producer Notes

Grey Goose is crafted in the legendary tradition of the Cognac region, under the watchful eye of Cellar Master François Thibault, using a proprietary five-step distillation process. Soft winter wheat from Picardie and pure artesian spring water from Gensac combine to create what is widely recognized as the World’s Best Tasting Vodka.

Exquisitely clear, fresh, and elegantly aromatic — with a smooth, long finish that reflects the finest ingredients France has to offer, captured field to bottle in an exclusive process designed and controlled by Thibault’s extraordinary craft.

• Iconic Cocktails: * The Last Word: Equal parts Green Chartreuse, Gin, Maraschino Liqueur, and Lime Juice.

Green Chartreuse is the only liqueur in the world with a completely natural green colour It is powerful and unique. Only two Chartreuse monks know the identity of the 130 plants, how to blend them and how to distill them into this world famous liqueur. They are also the only ones who know which plants they have to macerate to produce the natural green and yellow colours. And they alone supervise the slow ageing in oak casks.

How to drink it: To bring out all its flavour, it should be consumed very cold, even on the rocks. Traditionally considered an after dinner drink, Chartreuse is more and more being enjoyed as a long drink. 

Cointreau L'Unique Orange Liqueur — France

Cointreau is the original triple sec — the benchmark against which every orange liqueur is measured. Distilled in Saint-Barthélemy-d'Anjou since 1875, L'Unique is crafted from a precise blend of sweet and bitter orange peels sourced from around the world, triple-distilled in copper pot stills to achieve its signature clarity and balance. At 80 proof, it is at once intensely aromatic and supremely versatile — the essential building block of the Margarita, Cosmopolitan, and Sidecar, and a sublime digestif on its own over ice.

The nose opens with a sophisticated orange pulp bouquet that, after aeration, shifts to dry, elegant peel. On the palate, the entry is intensely orange peel-like yet more sweet than bittersweet; the midpalate is deeply orangey, sweet, and sublimely juicy. The finish is ideally citrusy, tart, and astringent before turning lithe and sweet — a textbook expression of what orange liqueur can be.

Noilly Prat Extra Dry — The Original French Dry Vermouth

Created in Marseillan, France in 1813, Noilly Prat is the vermouth that defined the category — and remains the benchmark against which all others are measured. The Extra Dry is the essential ingredient in a proper Martini, bringing a delicate herbal complexity and crisp, dry finish that no substitute can replicate.

Crafted from a blend of Picpoul and Clairette grapes aged in oak, then infused with 14 hand-selected herbs and spices sourced from around the world — including chamomile, Moroccan coriander, Tunisian bitter orange peel, and Italian orris root. The result is a vermouth of remarkable depth: floral and aromatic on the nose, with a clean, dry, subtly bitter palate and a long, elegant finish.

Chartreuse Jaune (Yellow) — Liqueur, 43% ABV

Made by the Carthusian monks of the Grande Chartreuse monastery in the French Alps since 1838, Chartreuse Yellow is one of the world’s most extraordinary and irreplaceable liqueurs. Like its iconic Green sibling, it is produced by macerating over 130 different herbs, plants, roots, and botanicals — a secret recipe known only to two monks at any given time.

Where Green Chartreuse is bold and assertive, Yellow is the softer, more honeyed expression — prized for its floral complexity, gentle sweetness, and remarkable depth. The nose opens with wildflower honey, cardamom, anise, and citrus zest, with coriander and herbal notes weaving through. On the palate, it is lush, warming, and beautifully balanced — “gloriously lush,” as Wine Enthusiast put it, awarding it 90–95 points.

Dolin Vermouth de Chambery Rouge — Savoie, France 750ml

Dolin has been crafting vermouth in Chambéry — the only French appellation with a protected designation for vermouth — since 1821. Dolin Rouge is the house’s celebrated sweet red expression, built from a neutral white wine base macerated with up to 54 carefully selected botanicals over several months. Its distinctive coppery color comes not from red wine, but from the particular plants used and the addition of dark, caramelized sugar — a hallmark of the traditional Chambéry style.

Lustrous copper in color, Dolin Rouge opens with a rich bouquet of fruit compote, prunes, and walnuts, layered with grassy notes and spicy aromas of Szechuan pepper. On the palate, almond, citrus, pear, and cinnamon mingle with gingerbread, tobacco, oregano, and hyssop. Balanced sweetness and 16% ABV create a harmonious, sophisticated finish that rewards both sipping and cocktail use.

“Up to 54 botanicals, a coppery hue from caramelized sugar, and centuries of Alpine tradition — Dolin Rouge is French sweet vermouth at its most complex.”

Château de Laubade · Bas Armagnac · VSOP · Gascony, France · 750ml

Château de Laubade is one of the great estates of Bas-Armagnac — the most prestigious sub-region of the Armagnac appellation, located in the heart of Gascony in southwest France. Founded in 1870 and spanning over 400 hectares, Laubade is the largest single-estate producer in the appellation, farming its own vineyards and distilling exclusively on-site using traditional Armagnac alembic stills. Armagnac is France’s oldest brandy, predating Cognac by over a century, and Bas-Armagnac is its finest expression — lighter, more aromatic, and more terroir-driven than its more famous cousin. The VSOP is a blend of eaux-de-vie aged a minimum of four years in Gascon black oak, developing the complexity and elegance that has made Laubade a benchmark for the category. At $42.99, this is one of the most compelling values in aged French brandy.

On the palate: smooth and round, with flavors of ripe apricot, vanilla bean, and plum, framed by gentle spice and the subtle earthiness of Gascon oak. The finish is long, soft, and warming — a digestif of genuine refinement. Serve neat in a tulip glass after dinner, or pair with honey-glazed cheese, wild strawberries, or a light espresso.

St-Germain Elderflower Liquéur — French Alps (375ml)

St-Germain is the world’s most celebrated elderflower liquéur — a bottle that has become as essential behind the bar as it is beautiful on the shelf. Made from 100% fresh, hand-harvested elderflower blossoms gathered each spring in the foothills of the French Alps, St-Germain captures a fleeting seasonal ingredient at its peak and transforms it into something timeless. The harvest window is just a few weeks each year; the blossoms are picked by hand and macerated immediately to preserve their delicate, aromatic character. The result is a liquéur of extraordinary subtlety and complexity — with roughly half the sugar content of most liquéurs, it is as versatile as it is refined.

The nose is fresh and floral: white peach, pear, grapefruit zest, and a delicate elderflower blossom sweetness that is unmistakably St-Germain. On the palate, the liquéur is silky and elegant — subtle yet complex, with a clean, lightly sweet finish that integrates seamlessly into cocktails or shines on its own over ice. Add a splash to Champagne or Prosecco for an effortless festive cocktail, stir into a Spritz, or use as the secret ingredient in a St-Germain Sour or French 75.

• Twice distilled on a Charente-style copper pot still
• After distillation, the eau-de-vie is placed in stainless steel vats for 6–8 years. These vats are kept in an outdoor courtyard and the opening covered in mesh so that the spirit may blow off unwanted esters and benefit from fluctuation in temperature.
• Approximately 11 pounds of pears are required to produce one 375 ml bottle of eau-de-vie
• Pungent green pear skin & cinnamon stick on the nose transitions to a full mouthfeel that hints at white and purple flowers with an underlying note of sweetened red bean paste before finishing dry and dusty

Producer Description 

Yes, this black raspberry liqueur is crafted in the province of Chambord, at the site of a real French château, with the finest ingredients. And some do say that it was inspired by King Louis XIV’s chosen tipple.

Everything about Chambord is sensational. The intrigue begins with its opaque appearance and extremely deep, purple colour. The liqueur has a luxuriously textured, medium-weight body and a wafting herbal and fruit bouquet. Black raspberries, vanilla acacia honey, and fragrant herbs steeped in cognac. The semi-sweet palate is a lavish affair featuring raspberries, spice, herbs and a taste of honey. The flavours persist on the palate for a remarkably long finish.
