Briottet Creme de Banane is a banana flavoured liqueur made in Dijon, in the Burgundy region of France, by Edmond Briottet.
Maison Briottet is a family business, founded in 1836, and has been run by the 6th generation of the Briottet family, Claire and Vincent, since 2014. The Maison is located in the centre of the town of Dijon in the Burgundy wine-growing region. Originally, the family were negociants of Burgundy wine, involved with ageing, blending, bottling and selling the wines. Following the development, and massive popularity of the Blanc Cassis Aperitif (white wine with Crème de Cassis also known as a Kir), in the 1900s, the company progressively focused its activities on producing fruit crèmes, liquors, brandies and Marcs de Bourgogne.
Maison Briottet maintains a very high level of quality. It is the selection of the ripest fruit, locally sourced where possible, from the most suitable cultivars that provides for the finest flavours. The first step on the ladder in the process is contracting the right growers to produce the finest, best quality, ripe fruit. Then, at the headquarters, the fruits undergo carefully observed maceration with very pure neutral alcohol and blending with the correct proportion of sugars to achieve the balance between fruit flavour, sweetness, acidity and alcohol to create top of the range crèmes and liqueurs.
Briottet Creme de Banane is made using juice from the Canaries variety of banana sourced from Costa Rica which is then macerated in neutral alcohol prior to sweetening with sugar. Unlike some other banana liqueurs, this actually tastes of real banana fruit. A natural companion to rum and a bottled taste of the Carribean!
Briottet Crème de Banane has rich aromas of ripe bananas, vanilla, and a hint of nuttiness. On the palate, this liqueur is smooth with a sweet and fruity flavor. The dominant flavor is that of ripe bananas, with notes of vanilla and a subtle hint of nuts. The finish of Briottet Crème de Banane is long and sweet with a lingering flavor of ripe bananas and a hint of vanilla.
Briottet Crème de Banane is a delicious and indulgent liqueur that is perfect for sipping on its own, or using as an ingredient in cocktails and mixed drinks. It pairs well with creamy liqueurs like Baileys or Amarula and can also be used to add a fruity twist to classic cocktails like the White Russian or the Banana Daiquiri.
