Liqueur – Bloom Soul – Bonifatu

Description

Bloom Soul – Bonifatu is an exceptional artisan liqueur that draws its identity from the botanical richness of the Bonifatu area, in the Balagne (Haute-Corse). Made by the house of Bloom Soul, this liqueur is inspired by a sensory, naturalist approach, combining wild plants, island citrus fruit and meticulous infusion know-how.

The Bonifatu recipe is based on a slow maceration of citron peel, bitter oranges and Corsican lemons, to which is added a bouquet of local herbs and flowers carefully picked by hand: immortelle, myrtle, wild mint, rosemary… Each ingredient is infused separately in a high-quality neutral spirit, to preserve its aromatic integrity before the final blending. Sweetening is done sparingly, using organic cane sugar, to strike a balance between plant freshness, lemony bitterness and roundness on the palate.

To the eye, Bonifatu has a luminous golden colour with slightly amber tints. The nose is expressive, lively and complex: notes of candied peel, maquis in bloom, light resin and fresh citrus zest. On the palate, the attack is soft and velvety, developing into a vibrant aromatic tension dominated by ripe citrus, fresh herbs and a fine spicy note. The finish is long, saline, almost mineral, and delicately bitter, evoking the Corsican landscape in spring.
