About Tempus Fugit Liqueur De Violettes Dno
Tempus Fugit Liqueur de Violettes is a premium violet liqueur crafted in micro-batches by Swiss distiller Olivier Matter, based on a mid-19th-century French recipe using hand-harvested violets from the Côte d'Azur. What makes it special is its restrained sugar content at 22% ABV, allowing the pure, delicate floral aromatics to shine without cloying sweetness, unlike many heavier violet cordials. This results in a light, aromatic profile with subtle herbal and fruity nuances, setting it apart in the floral liqueur category. Ideal for cocktail enthusiasts seeking authenticity in classics like the Aviation, or those who appreciate nuanced, perfume-like spirits for sipping neat or in spritzes. Compared to competitors, it's less sweet and more herbal, offering superior versatility and true-to-flower intensity at $32.99 for 750ml.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The aroma opens with a fine, subtle bouquet of delicate violet perfume, capiteux and seductive, accompanied by whiffs of blueberries, blackcurrants, and bramble. It evolves toward violet candy notes with faint woody pin undertones, maintaining purity and freshness throughout.
👅 Palate
Vibrant yet round on the palate, it's held by fruity acidity with prominent floral violet and rose petal flavors, plus dried fruits like almond and apricot. Airy and not weighed down by sugars, it delivers a fine anise-like savoriness that envelops without overpowering. Slightly herbal and less sweet than typical violet liqueurs, it surprises with extravagant, natural flower character.
✨ Finish
Long and fresh, the finish grows gourmand with violets bathing in acacia and orange blossom honeys, perfuming the palate. Retronasal notes of cassis, pomegranate, and cocoa linger alongside floral and herbaceous echoes.
