Chant Du Cormier

Prepare to be transported to the heart of Gaspésie's bountiful nature with the Chant du Cormier cocktail. The Cap-aux-Péchés distillery has just released two spirits. The first is Immortelle gin, aged in mead barrels, and the second is a liqueur made from cormier or mountain ash.

This cocktail combines its two new spirits to create a true sensory immersion, a tribute to the craftsmanship and unique flavors of our terroir. At the heart of this experience is Distillerie Cap-aux-Péchés' aged Immortelle gin. Not only floral and delicate, this gin is aged in mead barrels, giving it a roundness and subtle notes of honey and wood, a complexity rarely achieved. It embodies the wild and refined spirit of our land, where birdsong resounds.

Alongside it, Liqueur de Cormier Cardinal, also from Distillerie Cap-aux-Péchés, adds a unique fruity dimension. Cormier, the little-known fruit of our boreal forests, offers elegant bitterness and aromas reminiscent of apple, pear and even a hint of citrus, creating a delicate bridge with the gin's floral profile.

Lemon juice and honey syrup play an essential role, bringing a freshness and sweetness that balances the richness of the spirits. The honey, in particular, resonates with the subtle notes derived from the gin's aging in mead barrels, creating a soft, lingering harmony.

Finally, the light tonic 1642 aerates the whole, adding a delicate effervescence. The raspberry skewer is more than just a garnish: it adds an extra fruity touch, a bright color and a fresh aroma.

The Chant du Cormier cocktail is an invitation to savor the richness of our region in a glass. Drop in to see Ti-Père, and he'll tell you all about the creation of these two spirits.
