Marcel: Where Tradition Meets Innovation

What is Marcel?

Marcel is pure elegance in a bottle. It stands out with its distinct flavor profile characterized by dominant notes of bitter almond, complemented by subtle nutty undertones and delicate hints of orange sweets.

The nose offers a beautiful, natural, and clean scent of white marzipan, creating a fresh and focused aroma.

On the palate, it is rich, supported by a well-balanced alcohol backbone, and carries a subtle yet delightful orange candy note.

The texture is velvety elegance and harmoniously balances the sweetness. It's a versatile drink, enjoyable on its own and ideal for refining existing cocktails.

Marcel is proudly made in Switzerland with crystal clear spring water.

What does 'Hic sunt spiritus' mean?

"Hic sunt spiritus," meaning "here be spirits," perfectly embodies the spirit of adventure & exploration and draws inspiration from a personal journey of deep-sea exploration  around the world and the treasures it holds - the obvious silver & gold but also unique finds like WWI gin, port, champagne and beer and preserves from the 1850s.

Much like the ancient maps that warned of the unknown, our liqueur promises a journey of taste and discovery. With Marcel, you’re not just enjoying a beverage; you’re embarking on a delightful experience that captures the spirit of exploration - Our Story
