Mathile Poire Liqueur
Mathile Poire Liqueur is a 36-proof (18% ABV) French pear liqueur, 750mL, from Maison Ferrand — Bon-Chrétien Williams (Bartlett) pears pressed, fermented, and pot-still distilled, with a touch of quince to intensify the pear flavor. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Ferrand treats pears like wine grapes: press, ferment, distill. The result is pale gold and delicately balanced — a fresh, crisp aroma melding fruit and white flowers, with bolder pear flavor on the palate, sweet but not overly so. Pour it into a pear martini, a fall spritz, or a champagne cocktail.
Tasting notes (official brand copy): balanced, light, and delicate; fresh crisp aroma of fruit and white flowers; bolder pear on the palate; sweet but not overly so.
Why buy: Distilled — not just infused — pear liqueur has a purity most fruit liqueurs can't match. It's the pear equivalent of a great eau-de-vie, built for elegant cocktails. More French liqueurs at Mathilde at Del Mesa Liquor.
