Salers Gentiane Aperitif Liqueur 750ml

The Auvergne's Bitter Treasure — Since 1885

Salers Gentiane is one of France's most celebrated and distinctive aperitifs, crafted in the Auvergne region since 1885 from gentian root harvested in the volcanic highlands of the Massif Central. Dry, intensely bitter, and deeply aromatic, it is the purest expression of the French gentian aperitif tradition — a spirit that has become a cult favorite among bartenders and spirits enthusiasts who prize its singular, uncompromising character.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Intensely aromatic. Gentian root leads with a clean, alpine bitterness, a hint of citrus, and a subtle earthy depth from the volcanic terroir.
• Palate: Dry and boldly bitter. Gentian dominates with a clean, pure bitterness and a subtle sweetness that keeps it balanced. Earthy, herbal, and deeply complex.
• Finish: Long and clean. Gentian bitterness lingers with a refreshing, alpine close that invites another sip.
