Monluc Pousse Rapière Mint 70 cl 17%

Created in 1963 by René Lassus at the Château de Monluc, in Saint-Puy, Pousse Rapière is an Armagnac liqueur flavoured with orange and spices, and its recipe remains secret. This mint version, nicknamed the Gascon Stinger, is served in cocktails or simply on ice.

The 70 cl bottle, at 17% vol., will find its place on the bar as well as on the table on sunny days.
