The Product
Gentiane Geinoz 48%
Geinoz Gentian 48% is an artisanal gentian spirit distilled by Philippe Geinoz, expressing the alpine distilling tradition through one of its most emblematic roots. Produced with a deliberate and handcrafted approach, it reflects the authenticity and precision of small-scale mountain distillation.
At 48% ABV, this expression offers a firmer and more structured interpretation of gentian. The root’s characteristic bitterness unfolds with depth and persistence, supported by earthy vegetal tones and a long, dry finish that emphasizes clarity and intensity.
Traditionally enjoyed as a digestif, Geinoz Gentian 48% presents a more assertive profile while preserving the purity and authenticity of this classic alpine spirit.
