Maillard Granola Liqueur



The Maillard Granola Liqueur is a special collaboration by Matchbook Distilling and the Culinary Institute of 

America. This spirit liqueur is distilled from 100% oats from Maine, infused with browned New York butter, 

roasted oats, and brown sugar, resulting in a rich, toasty liqueur with flavors of vanilla, caramelized sugar, 

and toasted oats.  

 

Making fika, a popular tradition in Sweden to take a "coffee break", is a 

great incorporation to spice up your coffee and warm your soul. It's also perfect for hot chocolate, as a 

delicious addition to your cocktails, and definitely both neat and on the rocks!
