Distiller Notes
At these high elevations, the fantastical herb Genepy, aka wormwood, grows in abundance, providing Alpe’s herbal liqueur with its categorical name, classic flavor and color. Alpe’s Genepy also infuses oregano, mint and cinnamon, among other ingredients, into the grain-based alcohol. At this atypically higher proof, Alpe’s Genepy Herbetet is perfect when served as a digestif and works effortlessly in cocktails.

First prepared by 13th century Italian monks as herbal medicines and elixirs, Liqueurs are distilled spirits that have been combined with flavoring agents. A range of herbs, spices, nuts, fruits and flowers can be used, and a sweetener such as sugar or corn syrup is often added. While typically rather sweet, some examples are herbaceous or tart and pair exceptionally well with desserts or act as a delightful addition to cocktails.
