Inspired by the classic liqueur of Burgundy, our Crème de Cassis is a fortified fruit wine crafted from blackcurrants grown on the Saanich Peninsula. Sweetened to balance the tart, earthy flavours of the “cassis” berries, enjoy this liqueur as an apéritif in a Kir cocktail or after dinner as a digestif.
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
