Chambord Cordials
Loire Valley black raspberry cordial, poured in Commack since the 1980s.
The story behind Chambord
Chambord takes its name and its spherical bottle from the Château de Chambord in the Loire Valley, where a wild raspberry liqueur was reportedly poured for King Louis XIV in the late 1600s. The modern cordial arrived in 1982, when Norton Cooper built it at his family firm, Charles Jacquin et Cie. Brown-Forman bought the brand in 2006.
Whole frozen black raspberries, red raspberries, blackberries and blackcurrants steep in neutral French spirit for weeks, get pressed, then marry with XO Cognac, Madagascar vanilla, Moroccan citrus peel, honey and spices. That is a real infusion, not a flavor shot, and you taste the difference at 16.5% ABV.

Which Chambord is right for you?
The 750mL of Chambord Raspberry Liqueur runs $41.99 here, and the 375mL is $20.99. The 200mL sits at $10.99 and the 50mL nip at $4.99, both currently out of stock, so call before you drive over. The discontinued Chambord Vodka 750mL is $23.99 and only turns up as back stock. A 750mL pours roughly 25 cocktails at a half ounce each, which is why most of our regulars buy the big bottle and skip the small ones.
One bottle covers a party of French Martinis and still has room for a Kir Royale.
A $4.99 nip tells you whether the berry and Cognac blend suits your bar.
Enough to spike coffee and drizzle over vanilla ice cream without a full commitment.
