1960s De Kuyper Cherry Brandy

Please note that I’m a sucker for cherries and good kirsch.

Colour: Dark Scarlet.

Nose: It’s unusual to age fruit eau-de-vie, but this time it seems that that worked. This is virtually some liquid cherry cake.

Mouth (neat): White pepper, caraway, vanilla, then a little tobacco, and indeed, candied and preserved cherries.

Finish: Medium, rather well balanced.
