Liqueur Review: Chambord Liqueur Royale de France
Chambord Liqueur Royale de France
When I think of unique liquor or liqueur bottles; the first one coming to mind is almost always Chambord. For many years Chambord's easily identifiable bottle has stood out on the shelf. The gold belt over the deep purple liqueur and interesting globe shape make it very easy to recognize.
Before this liqueur review I had never tried it outside of a cocktail, so let's take a deeper look.
Background:
Chambord liqueur is said to be inspired by a raspberry liqueur once produced in the Loire Valley of France in the late 17th Century. To this day many delicious liquors are produced in that valley, such as Cointreau, Triple Sec and Royal Combier.
The original liqueur inspiring Chambord was supposedly introduced to King Louis XIV during one of his visits to the Chateau de Chambord. Royalty in those times always had the best of the best and it was common for many fine spirits to be had with lavish meals.
