Rothman & Winter Orchard Cherry Liqueur

Rothman & Winter Orchard Cherry Liqueur is an Austrian delight, crafted from sour Weichsel cherries grown in the Danube Valley and Lower Austria. This isn't a new creation; the Purkhart family, renowned for their eaux-de-vie and liqueurs, has been producing spirits since 1932, with a history that can be traced back to 1825. Their Orchard Cherry Liqueur combines the juice from the seasonal cherry harvest with an eau-de-vie made from the very same fruit, ensuring a pure, bright cherry flavor without added spice or vanilla. Notably, the Weichsel cherries used are the same variety found in Vienna's famous Sachertorte, and some of the orchards supplying the fruit have been family-run for over 300 years. The brand is known for capturing authentic fruit flavors, and this particular liqueur uses a "double maceration" process, steeping whole cherries and then separately macerating the crushed pits to extract a subtle almond note.

Rothman & Winter Orchard Cherry Liqueur offers a vibrant, pure cherry flavor, balancing sweetness and tartness from Austrian Weichsel cherries, with a subtle almond note from the pits. It's fantastic in classics like the Blood and Sand or simply with sparkling wine.

Anticipate bright, ripe cherry aromas with a whisper of almond. The palate offers a burst of sweet and tart cherry, evolving into a smooth, velvety feel with lingering cherry and subtle marzipan notes on the finish.
