About this liqueur

Domaine de Canton is a producer of ginger liqueur that has been around since 2007. The liqueur is made using a blend of baby ginger from Vietnam, Tahitian vanilla, Provencal honey, and Tunisian ginseng. The ginger is hand-cut and macerated in a neutral spirit for several weeks before being blended with the other ingredients. The liqueur is then aged in French oak barrels for several months to allow the flavors to meld together.

The history of Domaine de Canton dates back to the early 2000s when founder John Cooper was traveling in Vietnam and discovered the local ginger. He was inspired to create a ginger liqueur that would showcase the unique flavor of the ginger and bring it to a wider audience. The name "Domaine de Canton" comes from the French word for ginger, which is "gingembre de Canton."

The style of production used by Domaine de Canton is a combination of traditional and modern techniques. The ginger is hand-cut and macerated in a neutral spirit, which is a traditional method used to extract the flavor from the ginger. However, the use of French oak barrels for aging is a more modern technique that adds complexity and depth to the liqueur.

Domaine de Canton produces only one type of liqueur, which is their ginger liqueur. However, the liqueur can be used in a variety of cocktails and mixed drinks, making it a versatile addition to any bar. It can also be enjoyed on its own as a digestif or after-dinner drink.
