Bordiga Genepy

Wild. Aromatic. Deeply rooted in tradition.
High in the wild, rugged peaks of the Italian Alps, where the air is crisp and fragrant with mountain herbs, Bordiga Genepy is born. Crafted in Cuneo by the historic Bordiga Distillery, founded in 1888, this alpine liqueur captures the very soul of its natural surroundings. The secret lies in the elusive Artemisia mutellina—the Genepy herb—handpicked from the highest slopes during the short alpine summer. Its fleeting bloom and delicate aroma make it one of the rarest and most precious botanicals used in distillation.

At Bordiga, each batch of Genepy is made following time-honoured traditions: the freshly gathered herbs are gently dried, then macerated in pure alcohol to draw out their natural oils and complex flavours. The result is a liqueur that embodies the purity and elegance of the mountains—fresh, herbaceous, and deeply aromatic.

On the nose, Bordiga Genepy greets you with notes of wild herbs, alpine flowers, and soft spice. The palate reveals a clean sweetness balanced by subtle bitterness and a refreshing minty edge, leading to a lingering finish that evokes cool mountain breezes and the scent of pine. Traditionally enjoyed as a digestif, Genepy has become a beloved ingredient in cocktails for those who seek something distinct and refined.

Now available in Ireland, Bordiga Genepy offers a taste of true alpine craftsmanship—a spirit both authentic and timeless, ready to elevate your after-dinner ritual or your mixology adventures.

Why we love it:
Genepy is one of Italy’s best-kept secrets — complex, invigorating, and totally unique. Bordiga’s version is as close as you’ll get to tasting the Alps themselves. Perfect for adventurers, herbal liqueur fans, and lovers of the unusual.
