Tempus Fugit Creme de Banane Liqueur 26% 700ml offers a refined reinterpretation of a classic spirit, crafted with meticulous attention to historical authenticity. Drawing from 1800s recipes and traditional Swiss distillation methods, this liqueur is made exclusively from real bananas, slow-macerated to extract deep, natural tropical flavors without any artificial colors or extracts.
Unlike typical banana liqueurs that rely on synthetic sweetness, Tempus Fugit delivers a complex, layered profile reminiscent of Banoffee pie rather than candy. The nose reveals inviting aromas of ripe Cavendish banana, enriched with baking spices, caramelized sugar, and subtle hints of molasses and toasted pecans. This aromatic depth sets the stage for a velvety, decadent palate where caramelized banana, brown butter, and vanilla bean mingle with balanced natural acidity.
At 26% ABV, the liqueur carries a gentle warmth that enhances its structure, finishing with nuanced notes of oak and dried fruit. Produced in small batches using time-honored techniques, it embodies a dense, authentic banana flavor layered with warm sweetness and spice complexity. The result is a sophisticated spirit that elevates both classic and contemporary cocktails.
Ideal for bartenders and enthusiasts seeking depth and nuance, Tempus Fugit Creme de Banane shines in cocktails like a Banana Old Fashioned with aged rum and chocolate bitters or a refined Pina Colada that avoids cloying sweetness. It also stands beautifully on its own—served over ice or drizzled atop vanilla gelato for an indulgent, grown-up dessert experience.
This liqueur respects the craft of distillation and the heritage of its ingredients, making it a distinguished addition to any premium spirits collection. Its historic roots and artisanal production methods ensure a product that is both authentic and exceptional in quality.
