Dolin Genepi 1821 50cl

Description

Dolin Génépi 1821 is one of Dolin’s flagship products, crafted with the original 200-year-old recipe that has been passed down through generations. This exceptional Alpine liqueur showcases the emblematic genepi plant, which grows above 1,800 metres elevation, nestled between rocks and snow fields in the high Alps. The liqueur associates floral and grassy flavours with the elegant character of a top-quality Alpine spirit. In keeping with the tradition of Alpine herbalists, genepi strands are added to each bottle to slowly infuse and liberate their aromas into the green-gold liquid, further accentuating the taste and creating an exceptional mountain liqueur.

Why You’ll Love It

This is Alpine tradition at its finest. Dolin Génépi 1821 represents over two centuries of expertise in crafting mountain liqueurs, using a recipe that dates back to 1821. The addition of genepi strands directly in the bottle is a hallmark of traditional Alpine herbalists, allowing the liqueur to continue developing and evolving over time. The rare genepi plant, harvested from elevations above 1,800 metres, brings distinctive floral and grassy notes that can’t be replicated. This is both a digestif with historical medicinal roots and a sophisticated ingredient for modern cocktails seeking Alpine character.

Production & Provenance

Produced by Maison Dolin in Chambéry, Savoie, using the original recipe from 1821. The liqueur is made with genepi (Artemisia) harvested from high Alpine elevations above 1,800 metres. Following traditional herbalist methods, genepi strands are added to each bottle to continue the infusion process, liberating aromas into the green-gold liquid and creating a living liqueur that develops over time.
