Ferrand Dry Curaçao Yuzu Late Harvest is a Liqueur from the Pierre Ferrand brand hailing from France.
What is Ferrand Dry Curaçao Yuzu Late Harvest?
Ferrand Dry Curaçao Yuzu Late Harvest is a unique liqueur that combines the classic orange notes of curaçao with the bright, citrusy punch of Japanese yuzu fruit. This innovative spirit is crafted using a centuries-old technique called "late harvest," where the fruits are left on the tree longer, concentrating their flavors and natural sugars. Interestingly, the yuzu used in this liqueur are sourced from a small, family-owned orchard in Japan that has been cultivating the fruit for over 300 years, making it one of the oldest continuous yuzu producers in the world.
Why do we love Ferrand Dry Curaçao Yuzu Late Harvest?
Ferrand Dry Curaçao Yuzu Late Harvest stands out as a singular spirit that marries traditional orange liqueur with the bright, citrusy notes of Japanese yuzu. This innovative blend, crafted by the esteemed Maison Ferrand, offers cocktail enthusiasts a nuanced alternative to standard orange curaçao, with its crisp, dry profile and subtle sweetness derived from late-harvest yuzu fruits picked at peak ripeness.
How do you drink Ferrand Dry Curaçao Yuzu Late Harvest?
Ferrand Dry Curaçao Yuzu Late Harvest shines in citrus-forward cocktails, where its complex orange and yuzu notes can take center stage, but it's equally delightful sipped neat or over ice as an after-dinner treat. This versatile liqueur is perfect for warm summer evenings, pairing beautifully with light seafood dishes or citrusy desserts, though its bright flavors can also add a touch of sunshine to darker spirits in cooler months.

Nose: Bright citrus aromas dominate, with yuzu's distinctive grapefruit-mandarin scent at the forefront. Subtle floral notes reminiscent of orange blossom mingle with a hint of warm spice, likely from the cognac base. A touch of candied peel adds sweetness to the aroma.
Palate: The initial sip brings a burst of yuzu, tart and refreshing. Orange and lemon flavors follow, balanced by the sweetness of late-harvest fruit. The cognac foundation provides depth with notes of vanilla and oak. A subtle bitter element, characteristic of curaçao, adds complexity without overwhelming the citrus.
Finish: Medium to long, with lingering yuzu and orange zest. The sweetness fades, leaving a pleasant, dry citrus pith sensation. Subtle warm spices emerge in the aftertaste, along with a hint of oak from the cognac, creating a clean and slightly warming conclusion.
Ferrand Dry Curaçao Yuzu Late Harvest is crafted by macerating dried yuzu peels in Ferrand Cognac, then blending this infusion with additional Cognac and a touch of sugar. The unique twist comes from using late-harvest yuzu, which are left on the tree longer to develop more complex flavors, resulting in a spirit that captures the essence of this prized Japanese citrus fruit while maintaining the elegance of fine Cognac.
