{"product_id":"aveze-gentiane-liqueur","title":"Avèze Gentiane Liqueur","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvèze Gentiane Liquéur is produced in the Auvergne region of central France from the yellow gentian root (Gentiana lutea) harvested by hand from the volcanic Massif Central mountains — one of the few remaining hand-harvested gentian operations in France. Gentian root is the primary bittering agent in many classic aperitifs; Avèze builds the entire liqueur around it at 20% ABV.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGentiana lutea grows in the alpine meadows of the Massif Central and Pyrenees, and requires 15–20 years to develop roots large enough for harvest. The hand-harvested roots produce an intensely bitter, earthy, and floral spirit with turmeric-like color. Avèze is the benchmark expression of gentian as a standalone liqueur rather than a botanical component, making it a reference for bartenders exploring aperitif and amaro cocktail work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear marigold yellow. \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ground turmeric, cardamom, orange zest, menthol, and eucalyptus. \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Assertive gentian root bitterness with subtle sweetness and fresh herbal notes. \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and drying.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Avèze, Riom-ès-Montagnes, Auvergne, France — \u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-harvested Massif Central gentian root — \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20% — \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/liqueur\"\u003eliqueurs\u003c\/a\u003e at Wooden Cork.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Avèze","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42904185536583,"sku":"WW 156462","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0640\/2375\/files\/AvezeGentianeLiqueur.png?v=1782422540","url":"https:\/\/bourbonnest.com\/products\/aveze-gentiane-liqueur","provider":"Bourbon Nest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
