Heavenly Spirits products are authentically made by family-owned French producers. Some of them go back many generations. Not everyone has an easy time in pronouncing some of the names of these products or some of the French terms commonly used in the trade. For this reason, and because we have had a few requests, we have put together this easy-to-use pronunciation guide.
