Heering Cherry Liqueur (75cl, 24%)

A Danish cherry liqueur bottled at 24% ABV, widely recognised as the world's first commercially produced cherry liqueur. Peter F. Heering began producing it in Copenhagen in 1818. The base ingredient is Stevnsbær cherries, a Danish landrace sour cherry. These cherries are lightly crushed with their stones intact, allowing the pits' kernels to impart almond character into a neutral grain spirit base. The maceration matures for three years before bottling. Aroma of ripe black cherry, baking spices, almond sweetness and dark chocolate. Palate of cherry compote, clove, dark chocolate and nuttiness with a velvety mouthfeel. Finish long and smooth with spice, cherry and gentle oak warmth.
