Schladerer Kirschwasser Black Forest Cherry Brandy (75cl, 42%)

A dry, unaged cherry eau-de-vie from the Alfred Schladerer family distillery in Staufen, Germany, distilled since 1844. It is made from whole Black Forest cherries, fermented and distilled with the pits, using traditional copper pot distillation. The result is a crystal-clear spirit with almond and marzipan notes from the pits. The nose shows fresh cherry, almond blossom, marzipan, cinnamon and clove. On the palate it is dry, full-bodied and round, with concentrated stone fruit and fine almond, finishing long and warm with cherry skin and soft spice.
