Cherry Brandy Liqueur

I have been using de Kuyper XO premium cherry brandy in cocktails for years, but they haven't made any this year, so I tried Ableforth's instead. I will never buy another bottle. As well as the cherry flavour, there is a herbiness that is really deeply unpleasant. I'm still on the hunt for a de Kuyper XO substitute.

Add a little over ice cream you know you want to!

Thank you WhiskySanta! I had read the description about how this was *really* made with cherries, and high quality brandy, and when it arrived we did a blind test with normal De Kuyper. This is a different drink, really gorgeous. Am back here to buy it as a gift, as I think it's something most people would love to receive, definitely special.

First of all let me thank Whiskysanta for this pleasant surprise! ;)

Nose: Sooooo much cherry. pre-taste this makes me expect an allmost pure, syrupy flavour. There is so much pleasant going on in this scent-bomb. something a tiiiiny bit smokey, allmost as if.. i was in a kitchen and they were cooking a crêpe suzette with cherries flambé

Palate: so thick and concentrated flavour. it's pleasant, but so sweet, so packed with cherries. very strong flavour, i just have to say it AGAIN

finish: christmassy lingering fruityness.

in conclusion, i'm a whisky drinker. i enjoy cognac/brandy, i enjoy rum, but whisky will remain a favorite. therefore, i think i'm not reeeaally the right guy to tell you how good of a cherry brandy this is. especially since this one is the first i tasted. ever.
i did actually drink a lot of sweet fruit-sugar-kind of wodka's, jenevers, midori, malibu, irish cream, apple pucker, etc, etc, etc, and, when compared to these, i must say, well this is a HEELLLL of a lot better. you won't see me drinking any of the above again, but this, at the right moment, i will certainly enjoy :) Very interesting tasting this.

That is all!!!

Seriously. You know the juice you get in those Luxardo Cherries? It's almost identical to that, just with a lovely boozy-undertone from the brandy. Incredible, incredible drink.

Sweet, oleaginous, warming cherries. Encore!

Liked it very much! Will u b getting more in?

Everybody I gave it to is just awed. This is delicious!

My dad bought the Christmas cracker set this year & at Christmas, we were all fighting over who would win the cherry brandy. I did, and boy am I glad I did. I've actually never tasted cherry brandy & now I'm hooked! It is delicious! Have bought myself a big bottle & think it will become a favourite after dinner night cap.
