A rich and indulgent fruit liqueur from The Somerset Cider Brandy Company, based at Burrow Hill in the heart of Somerset. Celebrating the distinctive sweet-tart character of Morello cherries, this beautifully rounded liqueur combines luscious dark fruit with gentle warmth and a subtle almond-like complexity. Smooth, fragrant and wonderfully versatile, it is equally appealing as an after-dinner drink or as an accompaniment to desserts.
Tasting Notes:
Deep ruby red in colour with garnet highlights, the nose is intensely aromatic with notes of ripe Morello cherries, black cherry compote and red berry preserve, complemented by hints of marzipan and delicate spice. The palate is rich and velvety, with concentrated cherry fruit and a luscious sweetness balanced by the naturally tangy character of Morello cherries. Subtle notes of almond, dark chocolate and warming spice add complexity, leading to a long, smooth and beautifully fruit-filled finish.
Liqueur making:
Produced by The Somerset Cider Brandy Company at Burrow Hill, using Morello cherries to create a richly flavoured fruit liqueur. The cherries are carefully infused to capture their intense colour, distinctive fragrance and natural balance of sweetness and acidity. The resulting liqueur is crafted to retain the purity of the fruit while developing a smooth, rounded texture and gentle warmth.
Food Pairing:
An excellent match for dark chocolate desserts, Black Forest gâteau, chocolate truffles and cherry tart. It also pairs beautifully with vanilla ice cream, panna cotta, almond pastries and rich fruitcake. Delicious served lightly chilled, poured over desserts or enjoyed as an after-dinner liqueur.
ABV: 20%
