Flavour for
alcoholic systems.

Lux develops liquid flavour systems for spirits, liqueurs and alcoholic beverages—judged in the finished alcohol, sweetness, acidity and product format.

Application coverage

Different drinks need different flavour architecture.

Alcohol changes aroma release, taste perception and finish. Lux builds the flavour around the complete product rather than evaluating it in isolation.

01

Spirits & flavoured liquor

Fruit, spice, botanical, brown and speciality directions adapted to alcohol strength and style.

02

Cream liqueurs

Flavour integration with dairy or non-dairy cream systems, sweetness and alcohol.

03

Herbal liqueurs

Layered botanical, spice and extract-led profiles with a controlled finish.

04

Ready-to-drink alcohol

Impact, freshness and balance for lighter, mixed and carbonated formats.

Why application matters

Alcohol is part of the flavour system.

A profile that smells right in the bottle may release, taste and finish differently once added to the drink. Lux evaluates the flavour where the consumer will experience it.
