NOTES
Heering Cherry liqueur is a high quality cherry liqueur from Denmark. At the same time, it is probably the oldest brand of cherry liqueur in the world. The basic ingredient for Heering Cherry liqueur are dark Stevns cherries. These churches are particularly small, dark and aromatic and, after they have had enough sun over the summer months, are harvested and processed with their stone at the end of August. By pressing with the core, the famous liqueur gets its typical almond note.
