Zuidam Framboise Liqueur (70cl, 20%)

Zuidam Framboise is a raspberry liqueur from the Netherlands. It is made by macerating ripe raspberries in alcohol for about three weeks, then gently pressing the fruit pulp to obtain a bright red extract. French Cognac and eau de vie are added for depth. Zuidam Distillers, founded in 1975 by Fred van Zuidam in Baarle-Nassau, is one of the last independent distilleries in the Netherlands and uses natural ingredients without artificial flavours, colours or additives. On the nose there is an intense aroma of fresh, ripe raspberries with a hint of citrus. The palate is full-bodied and mildly sweet, with clear raspberry notes and balanced acidity. The finish is soft and refreshing, with an elegant, slightly sweet aftertaste.
