A Thousand Flowers in One Bottle
In Italy, millefiori — "thousand flowers" — is a regional tradition of liqueurs built on whatever is blooming, and recipes change from town to town. Heirloom's American take started in 2009 as a house crème de flora made for restaurants and bars across the country, and it worked well enough that the brand bottled it for retail in 2016. The bouquet draws on flowers native to five continents: marigold and chamomile named on the label, elderflower, orris root and violet reported by press and retailers. Expect a soft floral nose, sweet citrusy elderflower layered over earthier marigold and chamomile, and a smooth, clean, bright finish. Pour it as an aperitif, or use it the way bartenders did back in 2009 — in an Aviation, a Champagne Cocktail, or as the orange-liqueur replacement in a Sidecar. More floral and botanical builds in the liqueur collection, all from Heirloom.
