DISTILLERY NOTES

10 months in a bourbon barrel delivers wisdom to our Cinder Liqueur.

Best served its own and savoured. Pairs delightfully with a splash of orange or pineapple. It will impart memories of fireside stories and grilled fare. Softened smoke with a hint of toasted orange peel on the nose, complexity from bourbon accompanies a full body with notes of wood and leather, an exceptionally long finish of sweet earthy smoke.

BC SPIRITS NOTES

The Cinder Liqueur from Fernie Distillers is already incredibly unique; a Lapsang tea liqueur but they one upped it and threw it in a ex bourbon barrel for 12 months. What comes out is still that poignant, rich, meaty smoke of the Lapsang but with the addition of spiced vanilla oakiness that settles in the background and adds another dimension to the already complex liqueur.

Alcohol - 32.4% / 64.8 proof

Color - Dark cola

Nose - Meaty smoke with hints of orange and then the richness of that bourbon barrel with brown sugar, vanilla and spicy oaky

Taste - The smoke is so balanced in this, meaty and rich is a little more subdued in this one, it’s balanced with the barrel notes, vanilla and brown sugar

Finish - Meaty Lapsang smoke for days, orange rind, brown sugar, spicy vanilla and oakiness

Best Enjoyed - Want to play with this in Bourbon cocktails for sure
