I think, I've just found & bought something that's very similar to pimento liqueur.

It's an Indian Liqueur, though it's a product of France.

The front of the bottle says: MANGALORE d'Espices et de Piment

GIFFARD - Mangalore

Description:
Subtle flavours of spices and peppers.

Mangalore or the flavour of the Indian coasts of Malabar, in which cinnamon and cardamom are blended to smooth out the pepper. A surprising, strong and subtle mixture.

The aromatic spices first smooth out the peppery taste (lemon-flavoured taste and sweetness of the cinnamon), somewhat masking it. Then it reappears (without being aggressive) mixed with the rounded and sweet flavours of the spices.

Pure on the rocks or on crushed ice, in icy or "flambé" shot, in long drinks or cocktails, Mangalore gives an original peppery and spicy flavour.

Producer: Giffard - http://www.giffard.com
ABV: 40.0%
Country of Origin: France

Has anyone else ever tried or heard of this stuff?
