Joseph Cartron Crème de Cerise (70cl, 18%)

Joseph Cartron Crème de Cerise is a French cherry liqueur made from Montmorency sour cherries and Chalonnaise black cherries. Joseph Cartron, founded in 1882 in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Burgundy, produces fruit liqueurs with a strong craft focus. The liqueur is bottled at 18% ABV in a 700 ml bottle, with no colouring and cold filtration. On the nose it is precise, dominated by cherry notes with ripe fruitiness and a very pure aroma. The palate is soft, round and oily, with aromatic fruitiness outweighing sweetness. The finish has fine finesse, like biting the fruit stone.
