Detailed Description

Creating spirits is a labor of love, but few other liqueurs have such a laborious process. To gather the elderflowers needed to distill St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur, a team of 40 to 50 workers head to the French countryside and pick the blossoms of the beautiful flower. The window for picking the flowers is short, lasting only a few weeks in the spring. The rush to pick the blossoms resembles a last-minute rush by boyfriends or husbands to grab a fresh bouquet on Valentine's Day, but St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur boasts more satisfied recipients. Once picked, a race starts to begin the distillation process as the delicate flavors begin to dissipate only a short time after harvest.

St-Germain is a unique and remarkable French liqueur created using fresh, wild elderflowers, hand-picked at their peak of flavor and aroma. Persuading the fragile elderflower to give up its prized essence requires the ingenuity and inventiveness learned from over 100 years of experience crafting the finest liqueurs. To this we add our technique of careful, rapid and continuous maceration of the elderflowers to make the freshest and most enjoyable flavor possible. The result is the only exquisitely fresh and natural flavor of elderflowers available in a finely crafted, perfectly balanced and refined liqueur.

Throughout Europe the elderflower has been valued for thousands of years, blossoming for a few fleeting weeks each Spring. Extracts and oils derived from this plant have been enjoyed medicinally and mystically for centuries. But it took until the end of the 20th century for Rob Cooper to unlock the elderflower's greatest secrets.
