SOMERSET BLACKCURRANTS LIQUEUR 35CL 16%

After six months of soaking their neighbours blackcurrants in Somerset Cider Brandy Cos own Apple Eau de Vie, they are drained and pressed to create a concentrated blackcurrant liqueur with remarkable depth and crispness. With a farm consisting of over 180 acres of apple orchards, Julian Temperley has been distilling brandy and making cider at Somerset since 1989 when he was granted the UK's first ever cider-distilling license. Cider production in the UK dates back to the Romans, but the West of England in particular has a number of PGIs - protected geographical origins - where the orchards are treated like Burgundian vineyards, each with its own particular terroir. The blackcurrant liqueur is made by using apple eau-de-vie as a base for macerating the blackcurrants, creating a cassis with incredible freshness and vibrancy.
