Merlet Crème de Pêche is produced by Merlet Distillery in Cognac, France. Made from ripe peaches, it undergoes maceration, blending and aging before being bottled at 18% ABV.
Lots of well-cooked caramel notes give the palate a significant density and gives the finish more of a candylike dessert quality, with a sharp conclusion that surprises by evoking red berries. This one shined a bit brighter in the Old Fashioned than on its own.
