Description
Riga Black Balsam 1752 Original Recipe CHERRY 30% Vol. 0.5 l is a fruity variation of the legendary Riga Black Balsam, which is one of the oldest and best-known herbal liqueur specialties in Europe. This liqueur has been produced in Latvia since 1752 according to a secret recipe that has been passed down through generations. The basis is the classic Riga Black Balsam, which is composed of over 24 different herbs, roots, flowers, berries and spices and matured in oak barrels. This traditional base is refined in CHERRY by the addition of fruity cherry notes, resulting in a particularly harmonious and modern taste experience.
The herbs are first macerated in alcohol, then blended in a special process and stored in oak barrels for several months. This barrel ageing gives the liqueur its depth and complexity, while the fruity cherry note provides lightness and sweetness. With an alcohol content of 30% by volume, it is milder than the classic balsam, but remains aromatic and full of character. Bottled in the iconic black clay bottle that has characterized balsam for centuries, it combines history and modernity in a unique way.
The Riga Black Balsam CHERRY is therefore not only a piece of Baltic cultural history, but also an exciting alternative for anyone who appreciates herbal liqueurs with fruity accents. (automated translation)
