Sensory Description:
Byrrh pours a deep garnet with intense aromas of stewed cherries, vanilla, and baking spices.

It finishes with an elegant dryness and spice, making it both indulgent and refreshing.
Awards & Accolades:
- Silver – 2012 International Wine & Spirit Competition
- Silver Medal – 2011 San Francisco World Spirits Competition
Distiller's Background:
Byrrh was created in the late 1800s in the Catalan town of Thuir, close to the Spanish border. Over time, the brand became internationally renowned, not only for its bold and balanced aperitif but also for the remarkable art nouveau posters that brought it global recognition. Still produced at the historic Caves Byrrh, this iconic drink has remained faithful to its original formula, merging local winemaking with a botanist’s sensibility.

- On the Rocks: Serve over ice with a twist of lemon for a classic aperitif.
- With Tonic: Mix with tonic water for a refreshing, bittersweet spritz.
-
In Cocktails:
- Add to a Negroni for a nuanced, fruitier twist.
- Blend with gin, mezcal, tequila, or Irish whiskey for creative, herbaceous cocktails.
- With Food: Pairs beautifully with blue cheese or charcuterie.
