Some like it black

Chambord is a unique French, black raspberry liqueur and has been part of the Brown Forman stable since July 2006. Still produced to this day in the Loire Valley, Chambord is inspired by a black raspberry liqueur made during the 17th Century for the Louis XIV. Using all-natural ingredients, it is produced in a unique three-step process, guaranteeing an exceptionally velvety rich taste.

The drink includes raspberries and blackberries of exceptional quality, Madagascar vanilla, Moroccan citrus peel, honey and XO cognac. It is an ideal partner for Champagne and is favoured by bartenders because of its versatility.
