O’Donnell Moonshine Very Cherry Liqueur

O'Donnell Moonshine Very Cherry is a flavoured moonshine style liqueur from the German brand O'Donnell Moonshine, which distils a clear grain spirit and turns it into a broad range of flavours bottled in mason jars that recall the bootleggers of the American Prohibition era. This expression centres on ripe cherry, rounded out with vanilla and a gentle almond note that nods to the stone within the fruit. It is bottled at 20%.

The nose is fruity with ripe cherries, vanilla and almonds, the palate rich, fresh and fruity with cherry and vanilla, finishing long and soft. Behind the bar it brings cherry flavour, colour and a rounded sweetness, which makes it a useful fruit note in a sour, a whisky cocktail or a sparkling serve, and an easy lift poured neat or over ice. Use a measure to add ripe cherry depth and an almond edge to a stirred drink, or pour it over ice as a soft fruit digestif. A friendly cherry note for a back bar wanting fruit with a touch of almond beneath.
