Tempus Fugit Creme de Noyaux Cream Liqueur 700ml

Tempus Fugit revives one of cocktail history's most intriguing liqueurs with this authentic Crème de Noyaux, a rose-tinted elixir that captures the essence of apricot kernels and bitter almonds. This 700ml bottle contains a faithful recreation of the liqueur that once graced every respectable bar, delivering the distinctive noyaux flavor—a complex blend of nutty, fruity, and subtly bitter notes that modern palates have largely forgotten but immediately recognize as special. The beautiful pink hue comes from natural ingredients rather than artificial coloring, creating visual appeal that matches its aromatic complexity. The nose presents an enchanting blend of marzipan, amaretto-like almond notes, and subtle stone fruit character. Unlike simple almond liqueurs, this offers remarkable depth—hints of cherry blossom, vanilla, and even rose petals create an aromatic profile that's both familiar and exotic. On tasting, Crème de Noyaux reveals why it was once indispensable to classic cocktails. The initial almond sweetness quickly develops complexity, with notes of apricot kernel, bitter almond, and subtle floral elements creating layers of flavor. The natural benzaldehyde from the kernels provides that distinctive marzipan character, while careful production ensures bitterness remains pleasant rather than overwhelming. The sweetness is expertly balanced, enhancing the nut flavors without masking their complexity. The finish is smooth and lingering, with echoes of almond paste and dried apricots. This liqueur shines in forgotten classics like the Pink Squirrel or adds mysterious depth to modern cocktails. Its unique flavor profile—simultaneously nutty, fruity, and floral—provides bartenders with a secret weapon for creating memorable drinks. Tempus Fugit's commitment to authenticity has resurrected a liqueur that deserves its place in cocktail history.
