About this liqueur
Pages is the historic distillery behind Verveine du Velay, produced in the volcanic highlands of the Auvergne using wild verbena harvested from the slopes of Le Velay. The Gold expression is the mid-tier of their range, bottled at 40% ABV with a pronounced herbal intensity that sets it apart from gentler liqueur styles.
Expect fresh verbena at the fore, citrus-edged and aromatic, underpinned by a warmth that comes from the spirit base and extended maceration. Serve neat after dinner, over ice as a long digestif, or use it to bring genuine herbal depth to a cocktail programme on board.
