GET 27: Difference between revisions

'''GET 27''' (/dʒɛt/) is a [[liquor]] with [[Mentha|mint]] used as an [[apéritif]] or in [[cocktail]]s. The company was founded by Jean and Pierre Get in 1796. Production was in [[Revel]], in the [[Lauragais]]. Trademarked in 1868 as Pippermint GET, the liqueur used peppermint oil imported from England rather than the locally-grown variety. The distillery remains in use, as the town’s cultural centre, but production moved to [[Gémenos]] and then to [[Beaucaire]] in 1995. The company is now part of [[Casanis]], owned by [[Bacardi]].<ref>{{cite book|first=Colin Duncan|last=Taylor|title=Menu from the Midi: A Gastronomic Journey through the South of France|year=2021|publisher=Matador |language=English|url= https://www.amazon.co.uk/Menu-Midi-Gastronomic-Journey-through/dp/1800464967/ref=sr_1_1?crid=NECZ6EM49TBD&keywords=Menu+from+the+Midi%3A+A+Gastronomic+Journey&qid=1665087722&sprefix=menu+from+the+midi+a+gastronomic+journey+%2Caps%2C87&sr=8-1| isbn= 978-1800464964}}</ref> While its name refers to its original alcohol percentage, it currently has an alcohol content of 21%.
