Not often do we drink a liqueur, but when we do, we want it to be the best. We have a favorite apricot liqueur, Marie Brizard Apry, a French cognac with apricot. It is delightful and we enjoy it on occasion as a snifter after a very special dinner. A bartender in the middle of Wisconsin, of all places, treated us to this brandy one year on our anniversary. It has been special to us ever since.The Trout read on the Internet about a pear liqueur and we had to try it. Oh yes, this is the BEST. Belle de Brillet is a liqueur of a blend of Brillet Cognac and the essence of Pears William (Poire Williams). It comes in a beautiful pear-shaped bottle and it takes twenty pounds of pear to make each bottle. It is a little pricey, but since we only drink this on special occasions, the price is spread out for quite a while.
The taste is very pleasant and absolutely the freshest pear taste you can imagine. If you enjoy a nice brandy or liqueur, I hope you will look into this beautiful pear liqueur or the apricot brandy. I really think you'll like it.
How come I have never seen this in France for sale? I must look harder next time I am out it looks delicious. Diane
ReplyDeleteThis sounds fabulous with the pear flavor. I'll keep an eye out for it. We like to keep special things like this in our bar.

What a delicious treat for a special occasion. We have a local pear brandy that is wonderful but I would love to try this one.
ReplyDeleteI love the shape of the bottle and your photo is evocative. Will keep my eyes open for this.
ReplyDeleteThe middle of Wisconsin is just a jump away and of all place to find that brandy! The pear liqueur sounds great ~ unique bottle shape. I will have to check that out. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like something we would enjoy a sip of on occasion. Did you order it? Find it locally?

Bonnie, if you are near a large liquor store, such as Binny's, I am sure you can find it. We found it at Total Wines for about $37. It is such a treat.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try the apricot liqueur! It sounds wonderful. I wrote it down.
ReplyDeleteI have some Poire William so will look into the pear luqueur...
Informative post, Susan!
The pear flavor in a liqueur sounds enticing!
ReplyDeleteHere in Oregon there is a farmer that puts the bottles on the baby pear so it grows inside the bottle, then he adds the liquor. I haven't tasted it, but hear it is good.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bottle! It sounds wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteI have never tried this liquor .. though I love both, good Cognac and good Poire Williams ...
