Maraska Wishniak Cherry (75cl, 31%)

Maraska Wishniak Cherry is a Croatian cherry liqueur bottled at 31% ABV in a 750ml bottle, made from Marasca cherries native to the Adriatic coast. Maraska is based in Zadar, on the Dalmatian coast. The cherries are stemmed, crushed and pitted, fermented, macerated with ethanol of agricultural origin, then distilled in a copper pot still. The nose is dominated by tart Marasca cherry, with subtle almond and soft baking spice. The palate is bold and jammy, with concentrated cherry, pleasant tartness, smooth texture and refined sweetness. The finish is medium-long and velvety, with sweet cherry and a faint almond echo.
