Juliette is a 36-proof peach liqueur crafted from heirloom pêche de vigne harvested in late July in France's Rhône Valley. These peaches are macerated whole in eau-de-vie for up to five weeks, then blended with sugar and 3-year-old French brandy. The mixture is decanted and double-filtered before bottling.

The nose is syrupy and fragrant with oodles of luscious, juicy peach flesh and vanilla. I’d like to bottle this scent up and wear it like perfume.
The palate is less fresh peach and more peach ring. Soft pear, lychee and dried apricot can be detected as well. It’s creamy, candied and oozing a fruity gummy bear sweetness I think would jazz up a dry sparkling wine.
Offering a sugary, medium-length finish, Juliette concludes with notes of peach skin, warm honey, elderflower, raisin and heather.
This is a nice peach liqueur that I’d certainly recommend if you’re looking for one! While it’s not incredibly complex, and I would have liked to taste more of its brandy or eau-de-vie components, it still delivers plenty of stone fruit goodness. The slim, art nouveau-like bottle is gorgeous, too, and stands out on a shelf with its shiny orb stopper.
