  • Plump, sun-ripened Brazilian bananas are slowly infused in neutral spirit and then blended with a spirit distilled from bananas
  • A touch of oak-aged Cognac and natural beet sugar is incorporated to add further complexity
  • The nose smells of ripe banana with warming baking spices and heady tropical notes. The palate starts with creamy banana, redolent of butter and baking spices, with hints of vanilla and ginger, and blazed with oak-aged cognac.
  • 25% ABV

Giffard’s Banane du Brésil is a notably luscious banana liqueur which shies away from the artificial, candied notes typical of the category and leans into the rich bass notes of ripe bananas. A touch of Cognac and natural beet sugar is incorporated to add further complexity and an opulent texture to this bartenders’ favorite, enabling it to pair particularly well with stirred cocktails in addition to the more obvious shaken tropical ones!
