Heering Cherry Liqueur

Appearance: Dark, opaque midnight red - almost black. Hold it up to a light and you can just barely see through and the colour is more like a that of a merlot. Aroma: Cherry syrup. There is an aroma in the background reminiscent of almonds. Flavour and Texture: Sweet but less so than the aroma might lead you to believe. Certainly cherry but more bittersweet than sweet, and there is that almond presence again. The texture is fairly neutral. Very reminiscent of a tart cherry conserve. At first taste this may seem a little bitter-sour for a liqueur, but as you become accustomed to the profile it becomes more palatable. It's better as an ingredient than as a neat liqueur, however, and the best possible use IMHO is in a Singapore Sling (choose your own preferred recipe from the dozens available). It's also excellent added to ganache as a filling for home-made chocolates or added to red berry preserves for Danish pastries. "Very Good" : 85/100 (4 stars)

The only Cherry Brandy you should ever buy. It is thick and syrupy with strong tart cherry and medicinal notes. Think a more complex version of the Luxardo syrup you get when you buy a jar. A must if you want to make a Blood and Sand or Singapore Sling

Too syrupy for me to drink near, but I can see how it would add an interesting flavor profile to a cocktail. It’s almost like drinking the syrup in a jar of Luxardo cherries.

1960s Release A rich fruit liqueur from Denmark with a medicinal finish. September 2017 / March 2018

Syrupy sweet but a bit thin. Tastes like a grape/black cherry sucker. $42 in Ontario.

Sweet and rich. Lovely cherry flavor. Adds richness to cocktails.
