The liqueur is produced and bottled in Toronto, Ontario, blending neutral grain spirit with Canadian maple syrup and a proprietary mix of exotic herbs and spices — notably excluding areca nut. The result is a product described as absolutely unique among distilled spirits, bridging Eastern botanical complexity with North American sweetness in a way that has no direct parallel on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe nose opens with rosewater and fennel seed, progressing into sweet herbs, dried orange peel, and an exotic, deeply floral perfume quality.

Its Gold Medal at the 2011 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and Platinum Medal at the 2011 SIP Awards validate that the execution matches the concept. The combination of Canadian maple syrup with rosewater, cardamom, fennel, and anise creates a genuinely novel drinking experience that cannot be substituted with any standard herbal or floral liqueur. For anyone seeking something truly different in the liqueur space, Jaan Paan remains a singular expression.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jaan","offers":[{"title":"6(750ml) | 25.0% \/ $25.00 \/ Canada","offer_id":56398850392230,"sku":"G300100","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1(750ml) | 25.0% \/ $25.00 \/ Canada","offer_id":56398859272358,"sku":"G300100S","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0112\/4194\/7199\/files\/G300100.jpg?v=1776711695","url":"https:\/\/esbatlanta.com\/products\/jaan-pan-liqueur","provider":"Euro Specialty Beverages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
