Reviewed February 4, 2022Almost nothing on the bottle except that is handcrafted in small batches which means nothing as those terms are undefined. It also says the recommended use is to be topped off by Prosecco, which screams “Man” louder than anything else I can think of. Not meant to be taken neat though I did. It’s sweet. Tastes and smells like perfume. It’s kind of nice. Taken as recommended it does harmonize well with Prosecco. The floral quality does t overpower in various cocktails I’ve tried and works well as a mixer. Only maniacs would drink this neat more than once. -

Reviewed February 20, 2020 (edited January 25, 2023)This review for St. Elder Natural Elderflower Liqueur follows my previous review for the original, St. Germain. Let’s see how it stacks up in comparison: Country of Origin: United States ABV: 20% Price: $16.99 Nose: Sweet, with a dulled brightness. This quite a bit lighter than St. Germain. Fruity and floral, but lacks depth, density, and the green, “leafy” note of the St. Germain. This has a sweetness reminiscent of a light agave syrup and leans more towards canned peaches and faint citrus. Palate: Sweet, bright, and fruity, with more muted floral notes. Where St. Germain feels silky and syrupy, this has a soft and velvety mouthfeel. I don’t know what the base spirit is, but I detect a bit of dull graininess. As with the nose, this has more agave-like character rather than honey. It’s not as dense nor layered as St. Germain – it’s a fairly one-note peachy-citrusy-floral affair. Finish: Short and sweet finish, with the faintest bit of citrusy bitterness as it trails off. Verdict: Not bad by any means but St. Elder doesn’t quite rise to the same level of greatness as St. Germain. I find myself missing the depth and richness of St. Germain as the St. Elder doesn’t have as many facets to display. I think this would make a fine stand-in for St. Germain as a mixer, and it would save you about $10 as well. That said, it’s really no contest between the two, particularly when tasting neat. 3.75 ~ Very Good17.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed January 5, 2020An inexpensive way to enjoy a St. Germaine and champagne. I pair it with Barefoot’s Brut Cuvée champagne, and it makes the perfect cocktail.
