About this project
The Combier distillery claims that Jean-Baptiste Combier and his wife Josephine invented triple sec in 1834, in their kitchen in Saumur, France. The liqueur was made by sun-drying the various orange peels. After at least 48 hours, they would begin distilling this mixture in copper pots. Lastly, they would put them through a third distillation, to purify the flavor. This high quality purification lets us experience a round orange flavour, which is the base of many cocktail recipie.
The destillerie is really traditional, the original equipment is still being used. The facility is open for visits in Saumur.
Project execution
I was in Saumur in 2022, my friends recommended for me Combier guided visit. So I took it, and I was completely surprised learning upon, that one of my favorite spirit drink is invented by them. The Triple Sec. I quickly came up with the idea, what if i made an animation about their traditional Triple Sec. So the project have started.

Project gallery
Local confectioners by trade, Jean-Baptiste Combier and his wife started distilling out the back room of their sweet shop. Together, they shared a dream of inventing something new; something that had never existed before; something with just the right spice, just the right smell, and just the right taste.
