G.E. MASSENEZ
Golden Eight Pear Liqueur
G.E. Massenez has created a beautiful new Pear Williams Liqueur called Golden Eight.
Golden Eight®, a divine Pear Liqueur enhanced by a more than 8‐year-old Pear Eau‐de‐Vie, which gives it a long lasting taste in the palate and notes of vanilla and caramel..
Approximately 20 pounds of pears are used to produce this unique liqueur.
Golden Eight offers itself for tasting with a beautiful amber color and fiery golden highlights, a divine promise of a great liqueur.
At the opening of the bottle, a powerful, warm Pear Williams aroma is released, shimmering with generous notes, to pleasure and entice the taste buds. Then, like a delicate and sensual symphony, all the pear aromas are gently offered, from the freshly harvested fruits to the complex vanilla & caramelized bouquet.
A unique and exclusive offering from the Massenez distillery, founded in 1870, which prides itself on guarding its secret recipes and passing them on from generation to generation.
Serve slightly chilled or on the rocks.
