Gabriel Boudier Sweet Woodruff Liqueur is a refined, delicately aromatic creation from the historic Maison Gabriel Boudier in Dijon, crafted in collaboration with Ashley Haines of Dorset. Made from sweet woodruff, a woodland herb prized for its naturally elegant notes of almond, freshly cut hay, and soft biscuit, it is bottled at 22% ABV and delivers a uniquely graceful profile that stands out in contemporary mixology. Winner of the Wizard Awards 2025, 5th UK Edition.

Why You'll Love It

Sweet woodruff is one of the most intriguing and underused botanicals in the world of liqueurs, and Gabriel Boudier has captured its character with exceptional precision. Floral, herbal, and gently almond-scented, this liqueur brings a refined woodland note to cocktails and culinary creations that is unlike anything else on the market. Whether you are a bartender looking for a distinctive floral lift, or a food lover seeking a sophisticated ingredient for desserts and glazes, this is a bottle that rewards curiosity and creativity in equal measure.

Producer & Craftsmanship

Gabriel Boudier was founded in Dijon in 1874 and remains one of France's most respected liqueur producers, celebrated for the quality and intensity of its botanical macerations. This Sweet Woodruff Liqueur was developed in collaboration with Ashley Haines of Dorset, combining French liqueur expertise with a distinctly British botanical inspiration. Bottled at 22% ABV.

Tasting Notes

The nose is gentle and inviting, with a soft herbal perfume lifted by woodland nuances and a whisper of sweet almond. On the palate, it opens with floral and green notes before unfolding into a smooth, biscuit-like roundness. A touch of almond lingers through the long, elegant finish, giving the liqueur a comforting yet sophisticated charm. The texture is silky and indulgent, making it as enjoyable neat as it is in creative cocktails.

Perfect Serve

In cocktails, it brings a floral lift to gin-based serves, adds depth to spritzes, and pairs beautifully with citrus, orchard fruits, and herbal spirits. In the kitchen, it enhances desserts such as panna cotta, ice cream, fruit tarts, and custard-based dishes, and can be used to elevate syrups and glazes. Outstanding served neat and chilled as a digestif.
