An island contender to compete with the ever popular Odd Society Cassis. The Rathjen Cellars Creme de Cassis is a fortified black currant wine which gives it a unique flavor profile, gorgeous black current, hints of acidity, great in a Kir Royale.
Alcohol - 20% / 40 proof
Color - Dark purple, almost black
Nose - Gorgeous black currents, fragrant and deep
Taste - The taste is different to macerate liqueurs, it’s complex from the making of the black currant wine then being fortified. Giving a broader flavor of black currant with hints of green and great acidity.
Finish - Almost zero residual sugar, bright acidity and left with gorgeous black currant in the finish
Best Enjoyed - Kir Royale
