Distillery - Liquor store Auvergne

A pioneer of artisanal distillation in the Puy-de-Dôme, the distillery was opened in 2021 in Brassac-les-Mines. Quentin, a Clermont-Ferrand native and distilling oenologist, decided to return to Auvergne after years of apprenticeship in Cognac. He works with local and French products (volcano water, whisky barley...) to create unique, high-quality spirits. No flavoring or sugar is added. The range of spirits is regularly enriched: whisky, gin, rum... The distillery's products can be found in restaurants, wine shops and online.

It was in 2016 that Laurent Dartère, who runs the grocery store in Saint-Donat, had the idea to create the Gentiane de l'Abbaye. This local artisanal liqueur has been a great success. Since then, other liqueurs have been created, all made from local products: the blueberry-chestnut liqueur or the "potion du bougnat", a mixture of fresh verbena, fresh lemon mint and fresh gentian roots. Of course, the producer is present every year in Picherande on the occasion of the great European Gentian Festival.

Founded in the ^mid-19th century, Distillerie Génestine will rise from the ashes in 2021 thanks to Sébastien Jolivet. Its flagship product is a reinterpretation of the liqueur Le Gaulois. Now an Italian-style vintage vermouth in the ^21st century, it is accompanied by a new range of spirits: a jet 31 with organic peppermint, a limoncello with the taste of lemon leaves, a pastis with gentian, not forgetting 1845 Elixir, made from 80 plants and spices. The bottles proudly bear the figure of Vercingétorix, as imagined by Auguste Bartholdi.

This brewery produces artisanal liqueurs, syrups and infusions made from organically grown plants with a wide range of aromatic and medicinal properties. Caraway, lemon balm, poppy flowers, elderflower... Amaze your guests with unusual aperitifs and beverages in pretty bottles, from the Lumière obscure range based on hemp, to Herbe des druides, Nectar d'Oscara, Flèche ardente and Alchimie végétale, among other new products to come. You can also find them at local markets.
