Tasting Notes and Characteristics:Suze Gentiane Aperitif drinks with a bright, bittersweet snap, starting zesty and herbaceous on the palate before settling into a clean, earthy gentian root bitterness that lingers and makes you want another sip. Made in France, it’s a classic gentian-based aperitif traditionally built around an infusion of gentian, typically served over ice or lengthened with tonic or soda to open up its citrusy, alpine edge; at 0.15 ABV it keeps things brisk and sessionable. It’s especially good when you’re setting out a simple pre-dinner spread, where a chilled glass cuts neatly through creamy goat cheese and plays off the salty richness of smoked salmon.Producer Information: Pernod RicardPernod Ricard is a French spirits and wine group headquartered in Paris, built from the historic union of Pernod from the Jura region and Ricard from Marseille, and it carries that distinctly French aperitif and distilling heritage through a portfolio that spans multiple houses and origins. Pernod Ricard produces and distributes brands across categories, including Scotch whisky such as Chivas Regal and The Glenlivet, Irish whiskey via Jameson, gin via Beefeater, vodka via Absolut, rum liqueurs like Malibu, and Cognac through Martell, alongside Champagne and sparkling wine from maisons such as Perrier-Jouët and GH Mumm. While global in scale, the company’s identity remains tied to place-led production and long-standing craft traditions within its partner distilleries, cellars, and brand homes.
