St. Germain with Carafe Gift Set

Pale golden color. Vibrant aromas of elderflower and lychee follow through on a soft, supple entry to a fruity, moderately sweet medium-to-full body with tangy tropical fruit sweetness and great depth. Finishes with a long, graceful, herb accented fade.

Ironically, for a liqueur destined to assist in the slowing down and savoring of the moment, St‑Germain begins with something of a race against time. This is because there are only a few fleeting weeks in the spring when fresh wild blossoms can be gathered for St‑Germain. The blossoms in question are elderflowers. In European folklore, the elder tree is of particular celebrite. Extracts and oils derived from the beloved plant have been employed medicinally and mystically for centuries. An herbal ange gardien, one might say.
