NVRich, smooth, and elegantly aromatic, Giffard Cherry Brandy Liqueur showcases the perfect harmony between ripe cherry fruit and aged brandy. Crafted by Giffard & Cie, the celebrated French liqueur house established in 1885, this expression combines natural cherry maceration with a subtle brandy base to create a liqueur of remarkable depth and balance.
The result is a sophisticated cherry spirit that offers both sweetness and structure — equally suited to refined sipping, dessert service, or as an essential cocktail component in classics like the Singapore Sling and Blood and Sand.
Founded by Émile Giffard in Angers, France, Giffard & Cie has remained family-owned for over five generations, specialising in the art of fruit maceration and fine liqueur production. Every Giffard creation reflects the brand’s commitment to authenticity, purity, and natural flavour.
Cherry Brandy embodies this heritage — marrying the luscious fruit character of carefully selected cherries with the warmth of French brandy to achieve richness, balance, and enduring elegance.
