TASTING

1. ARCHIBALD, THE ORIGINAL: THE DISTILLED TONIC

More than just a tonic, Archibald is... Archibald!
A unique signature taste which can be used for different purposes, which is what makes it successful.

In the mouth

Very fine bubbles, a slightly marked bitterness with powerful herbal notes, even a little bit rooty. Slightly sweet, the palate is not saturated.

A sipping soda: an adult drink in its own right, without alcohol

With its precise dose of bitterness and its herbal taste, Archibald can be enjoyed on its own, chilled.
 
Some people simply appreciate it in all its simplicity as a refreshing drink, while others enjoy it as an adult drink tasting like an alcoholic beverage, giving the impression of a gin or an alcohol-free spirit.

Enhancer of gin and other spirits

Due to its complex and balanced bitterness, Archibald is used as a luxury tonic that enhances cocktails because it is an elegant flavor enhancer and adds complexity to the overall aromatic.

Another distinctive sign: when Archibald is diluted, the sensation of effervescence is reduced and then finds the right balance to highlight the aromatics of the cocktail: this is quite simply due to its low dose of citric acid.

So because slightly bitter, quinine-free and sparkling, Archibald does not mask the aromatics of the spirits it accompanies, but enhances it with elegance.

This is the reason why Archibald isacclaimed by gin and tonic lovers.

THE ARCHIBALD SPECIAL EDITION N°1:
A SIPPING SODA  WITH GENTIAN AND BERGAMOT DISTILLATES AGED IN OAK BARRELS!

An original and perfectly balanced aromatic profile: mixed or enjoyed on its own, this Limited Edition surprises and seduces.

From citrus to smoky notes: a true sensory experience

At nose : a tangy top note, a zest of bergamot and fresh gentian roots, then appears in the heart note a complex and bewitching set of powerful aromas: bitter orange, roots, undergrowth, camphor, to finish on a note of deliciously intriguing base note: jasmine tea, resinous, beech smoke.
 

In mouth : the bitterness dominates with a powerful attack in gentian, round and ample. This is followed by delicious notes of grapefruit, earl grey, toasted oak and a very long finish with empyreumatic and medicinal notes.

 

Enjoy it as a mixer with brown spirits or on its own

An atypical aromatic profile which makes it a unique mixer for spirits with character, particularly whiskeys and cognacs: its fine bubbles, its acidulous and smoky notes bring freshness and complexity, without distorting the initial aromatics. In the end, the spirit is sublimated.
Thus, a use as simple as it is wonderful, is the Highball: in a long drink glass, large cubes of ice, 2 cl of whiskey and our Archibald Limited Edition.

It can also be savored on its own: its aromatic complexity allows a real tasting moment and then becomes an alternative to an alcoholic drink... without alcohol!
