Produced in Switzerland and now part of the Sazerac Company portfolio, this liqueur is known for its distinctive presentation, containing suspended flakes of real gold leaf. Based on a clear schnapps spirit, it is infused with cinnamon to create a bold, spice-driven profile that has become widely recognised for its visual and flavour impact. The style leans toward a more assertive and warming interpretation within the flavoured liqueur category.
Cinnamon oils are incorporated to deliver both aroma and heat, with the spirit base providing a clean structure that allows the spice to remain the focal point. The inclusion of gold leaf is purely decorative, enhancing the visual identity without affecting flavour. Positioned at an entry-level to mid-tier level, it offers a striking and easily recognisable option, suited to shots and flavour-forward serves.
