This is truly the quintessential bitter French liqueur. Bigallet starts with high quality neutral spirit, then both bitter and sweet orange peels are macerated in the base before being distilled. Then they do it again. Wait, then they do it one more time. Then they add more peels, spices, botanicals, etc. A small amount of sugar is used to balance the bitter and stabilize the color. This is the Francophonic answer to Amaro and it is so, so good. Truly a special treat for anyone smart enough to include this in their shopping list. It can also be used as a substitute for bitter liqueurs in various cocktails, vermouth and amaro alike. Enjoy!
