Dolin Genepi 1821 50cl
Dolin Génépi 1821 is one of Dolin's flagship products, crafted with the original 200-year-old recipe that has been passed down through generations. This exceptional Alpine liqueur showcases the emblematic genepi plant, which grows above 1,800 metres elevation, nestled between rocks and snow fields in the high Alps. The liqueur associates floral and grassy flavours with the elegant character of a top-quality Alpine spirit. In keeping with the tradition of Alpine herbalists, genepi strands are added to each bottle to slowly infuse and liberate their aromas into the green-gold liquid, further accentuating the taste and creating an exceptional mountain liqueur.

The rare genepi plant, harvested from elevations above 1,800 metres, brings distinctive floral and grassy notes that can't be replicated. This is both a digestif with historical medicinal roots and a sophisticated ingredient for modern cocktails seeking Alpine character.
