Prinz Alte Kirsche (1L, 41%)

Prinz Alte Kirsche is an Austrian fruit brandy combining cherry distillate with dried fruit. It starts with hand-picked sweet and sour cherries from sunny sites. After distillation, the distillate matures for several years in stoneware containers and then for several months in a Prinz wooden cask; dried fruit added at the end gives a pleasant fruit sweetness, with a fine woody note complementing the cherry character. It has 41% alcohol in a 1 litre bottle. Nose: intensely fruity, sweet and appealing. Palate: a full flavour of ripe cherries that remains present for a long time. Finish: long and mild.
