Maison Briottet is a family business, founded in 1836. Originally, the family were primarily negociants of Burgundy wine, involved with ageing, blending, bottling and selling the wines. Following the development of the blanc cassis aperitif (white wine with Creme de Cassis), the company progressively focused its activities on producing fruit cremes, liqueurs, brandies and marcs de Bourgogne. Briottet’s liqueurs are acclaimed by the world’s best bartenders to create unique cocktails. Curacao liqueurs take their name from the the island of Curacao off the Venezuelan coast where the Spanish used to cultivate Valencia oranges following their arrival from Europe.

The dominant flavor is that of orange, with notes of sweetness and a hint of bitterness. The finish of is long and sweet, with a lingering flavor of orange and a subtle hint of spices.
