Berentzen Caramel Cream Likör

Berentzen Caramel Cream Liqueur comes from Berentzen, the German distillery in Haselunne, Lower Saxony, founded in 1758 and long known for grain spirit and liqueurs. This is a sweet, creamy liqueur with caramel at its centre, rounded by a gentle vanilla note and a soft, milky body, bottled at 17%.

The nose is intense and sweet with caramel, a gentle vanilla note and a light milkiness, the palate creamy and full bodied with rich caramel sweetness over vanilla and a delicate fruity edge, the finish long and smooth with mild caramel and vanilla. Behind the bar it works as a dessert and body ingredient, adding caramel sweetness and a creamy weight to a Caramel White Russian, a Caramel Martini or a hot coffee drink, and it stands in for cream where caramel depth is wanted. It pours neat or over ice as a digestif. As a cream liqueur it should be kept cool once opened and used within a few months.
