Temps Fugit Crème de menthe Liqueur

Tempus Fugit Crème de Menthe Glaciale is the liqueur that proved crème de menthe never deserved the reputation it earned from decades of cheap, artificial, eye-wateringly green imposters. F. Paul Pacult of The Spirit Journal awarded it five stars with the highest recommendation, writing that "the peppermint core aroma is absolutely dead-on and incredibly fresh and herbaceous — this should be the only crème de menthe that astute bartenders who care about their craft will want." That's not hyperbole. It's the result of extraordinary production rigor. Tempus Fugit cross-referenced historic recipes in three languages to discover that a true crème de menthe cannot be made correctly with mint alone — it requires a complex botanical assembly, fully macerated and then completely distilled through a process so costly and low-yield that no commercial producer bothers attempting it. The botanicals are fully distilled in micro-batches by Swiss distiller Oliver Matter, the finished distillate reduced with spring water and pure cane sugar — and nothing else. The result is crystal clear rather than the familiar synthetic green — an oyster shell appearance that immediately signals genuine production over artificial coloring. The nose delivers fresh peppermint and spearmint flooding the glass with cool, herbaceous authenticity, while the palate is sweet and viscous with genuinely intense mint flavor, dark chocolate, cooling menthol, and a long, startlingly minty midpalate that lingers with subtle warmth. Bottled at 28% ABV. The Grasshopper of your life starts here. Buy Tempus Fugit Crème de Menthe Glaciale online with fast shipping right to your door.
