Riga Black Balsam 1752 Original Recipe Tropical

Riga Black Balsam 1752 Original Recipe Tropical is a tropical fruit edition of the historic Latvian balsam, whose origins date back to 1752. The base Riga Black Balsam is known for its complex composition of 24 all natural ingredients, an oak aged blend of grasses, roots, berries and buds carefully combined for a deep, multi layered flavour. This variant adds orange and pineapple to that profile and is bottled at 30%.

The nose is light, fresh and fruity, while the palate brings tropical fruits in a sweet and sour balance, with orange and pineapple, closing long on the palate. For the trade it pairs the herbal complexity of a Latvian balsam with bright tropical fruit, a way to bring aromatic depth, sweetness and acidity to a refreshing serve. It is enjoyed neat or in refreshing cocktails and makes a distinctive Latvian aperitif. Serve it chilled to keep the fruit fresh against the herbal base.
