Suze Bitter Liqueur

A distinct aroma of wild gentian harvested from the Alps dominates the nose, with dusty turmeric, juniper, and dried orange zest, opening onto a surprisingly soft, subtly sweet and floral palate that gives way to a delicately bitter, technicolor yellow finish.

Suze was first put on the market in 1889 by Fernand Moureaux at the Paris World's Fair, built from gentian roots macerated in alcohol for several years before double distillation and blending with other botanicals. In the autumn of 1912, a bottle of Suze inspired Pablo Picasso's Cubist collage "Verre et bouteille de Suze,"
