Franc-Tireur La Bête 43°: a surprising artisanal creation
La Bête certainly lives up to its name: this spirit from Normandy boasts a unique identity, a far cry from the usual profiles of white spirits. The Franc-Tireur distillery has chosen organic French beetroot syrup as its raw material, which is then brewed, fermented and distilled in a French-made column still. The result is a crystal-clear spirit, at 43% ABV, free from additives and unfiltered. Its nose reveals notes of cider apple and white-fleshed fruits. On the palate, it is initially round and smooth, then gains liveliness thanks to a pleasant acidity. Earthy, smoky and truffle-like notes round off this distinctive expression. Available in a 70 cl bottle, La Bête is best enjoyed neat, with a few ice cubes, or mixed with apple or pear juice for a pairing with a touch of Normandy.
Description
La Bête de Franc-Tireur: the uniqueness of French organic beetroot
The Franc-Tireur distillery, based in Franqueville-Saint-Pierre in Seine-Maritime, produces artisanal spirits that explore unique raw materials and flavour profiles. La Bête perfectly illustrates this creative approach: rather than relying on the ingredients usually associated with white spirits, it showcases French organic beetroot syrup.
Production begins with the brewing and fermentation of the beetroot syrup. This is then distilled in a French-made column still. The distillery presents La Bête as an artisanal spirit, unfiltered and free from additives. Its 43% ABV gives it a bold character, whilst allowing its distinctive aromas to shine through.
Visually, the spirit has a crystal-clear colour. The nose opens with notes of cider apple and white-fleshed fruits, accompanied by a slight tangy touch. On the palate, the attack is smooth and round, then the acidity quickly brings freshness and fullness. An earthy dimension rounds off the tasting experience, with nuances evoking smoke, peat and truffle. This aromatic combination gives La Bête a personality that sets it apart from more neutral white spirits.
For tasting, the distillery recommends serving it neat, on the rocks or with apple or pear juice from Normandy. These pairings naturally enhance its fruity notes and make for an original aperitif. Available in 70 cl bottles, La Bête is aimed at those keen to explore new flavours, enthusiasts of artisanal distillation and anyone seeking a French spirit with a difference. A creation full of character that invites you to rediscover beetroot from an unexpected angle.
