Aged for eight years, this liqueur is crafted from the finest Pear Williams eau-de-vie, and approximately 20 pounds of pears contribute to its unique and luxurious character. The result is Golden Eight, a liqueur that boasts a beautiful amber color with fiery golden highlights—a divine promise of its exceptional quality.

This liqueur unfolds like a delicate and sensual symphony, offering a journey through the freshly harvested fruits to a complex bouquet of vanilla and caramelized richness.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a pear liqueur from G.E. Massenez, the Alsace distillery founded in 1870. It is built on Pear Williams eau-de-vie, aged for eight years and bottled at 25% ABV. That time is what sets it apart from the clear, bright pear spirits many drinkers know. It pours a deep amber with fiery golden highlights, and the warm, ripe pear on the nose gives way to vanilla, caramel and hints of honey and oak. At 50 proof it is gentle enough to sip neat or on the rocks after dinner, yet it has the sweetness and body to anchor a cocktail, from a pear Martini to a half-ounce in a bourbon Old Fashioned. It suits fruit-spirit fans curious about an aged take, home bartenders who want a dessert-leaning modifier, and anyone who likes a soft, rounded nightcap. We carry it because it pairs genuine pear character with the warmth of age, from a house whose recipes have been passed down through generations.
Pairs well with
- Vanilla ice cream affogato — The liqueur's vanilla and caramel notes melt right into the ice cream while the pear lifts the bitterness of the espresso.
- Caramelized pear tart — Its caramelized richness and ripe pear character echo the dessert and make a seamless after-dinner match.
- Holiday champagne toast — A splash in a flute of chilled champagne adds warm pear and honeyed sweetness to a celebratory pour.
