Distiller Notes
Craft distilled in small batches, and perfectly balanced with a refreshing blend of macerated vine fruits, eau de vie, and bright botanicals. Fresh Aloe Vera juice is then added as the final step in creating this wonderful expression of California agriculture in a bottle.

This ethereal, delightful liqueur is clear in the glass, with a fresh, bright aroma that suggests fresh-cut green melon and cucumber water, plus a zesty citrus hint. The palate teases with sweet, vegetal, floral and fleeting jalapeño spice in turn, without quite settling in one space. A treat with tequila.

Tasting Panel
Chareau Aloe Liqueur, at 50 proof, is awash with cucumber and spiced aloe on the nose. Sensuously textured, the flow of the spirit is silky and sweetly appointed with spearmint and lemon-drop flavors.
Founder Kurt Charron was inspired by the bountiful agriculture and natural beauty of California when creating Chareau. The Aloe Vera plant was his muse, and he wanted to find delicate compliments to the naturally soft and slightly bitter profile. The cucumber adds a sophisticated vegetal quality, while the muskmelon brings a natural sweetness. The lemon peel adds balance and the spearmint mellows the bite of the unaged eau de vie distillate. It all culminates in a refreshing spirit that can be enjoyed both straight and mixed in a well-crafted cocktail.
Each of the ingredients we chose are found naturally in California, and thrive in the soil and climate. They are able to source organic when possible, and direct from the family farmers.
