Mount Rigi Swiss Aperitif is a Liqueur hailing from Switzerland.
What is Mount Rigi Swiss Aperitif?
Mount Rigi Swiss Aperitif is a unique blend of Alpine herbs and spices, offering a taste of the Swiss mountains in every sip. Interestingly, this aperitif is made using water from the Rigi mountain spring, which is naturally filtered through layers of rock dating back to the Tertiary period, over 65 million years ago.
Why do we love Mount Rigi Swiss Aperitif?
Mount Rigi Swiss Aperitif offers cocktail lovers a refreshing twist on traditional aperitifs, blending Swiss Alpine herbs with citrus notes for a uniquely crisp and versatile flavor profile. Unlike most rums, this Swiss-made spirit is crafted using pure glacier water and locally-sourced botanicals, including gentian, lemon balm, and elderflower, resulting in a distinctly Alpine character that shines in both classic and modern cocktail recipes.
How do you drink Mount Rigi Swiss Aperitif?
Mount Rigi Swiss Aperitif shines when sipped chilled and neat, allowing its delicate herbal notes to fully blossom on the palate. It's also a fantastic addition to light, refreshing cocktails perfect for warm summer evenings, and pairs beautifully with alpine cheeses, cured meats, and fresh fruit desserts.
Nose: Fresh alpine herbs, particularly thyme and rosemary. Bright citrus notes of lemon zest and grapefruit. Subtle hints of honey and wildflowers.
Palate: Crisp and herbaceous with a balance of sweet and bitter. Prominent flavors of gentian root and wormwood. Notes of orange peel and chamomile tea. Light, refreshing mouthfeel with a touch of sweetness.
Finish: Clean and dry with lingering herbal bitterness. Gentle warmth from the alcohol. Faint echoes of pine and mountain flowers. Leaves the palate feeling refreshed and ready for another sip.
Mount Rigi Swiss Aperitif is crafted using a blend of 13 botanicals, including Swiss herbs and spices, which are macerated in a grape-based spirit. The unique production process involves aging the aperitif in oak barrels at high altitude on Mount Rigi itself, allowing the crisp mountain air to influence the flavor development and impart a distinctive Alpine character to the final product.
