A crème de cassis from Mathilde — the French liqueur house whose recipes date back some 200 years, produced today by Maison Ferrand of the Cognac region, the independent house behind Pierre Ferrand Cognac and Plantation Rum. Hand-crafted from age-old recipes: Noir de Bourgogne and Blackdown blackcurrants are grown in Burgundy — a region that has cultivated blackcurrants for over 400 years — harvested at peak ripeness and macerated at length in liquor, with no stabilizers or preservatives.
Aroma: Deep, very ripe dark berries with an undercurrent of molasses.
Palate: Lush and fruit-forward — rich raisin and prune notes give way to fresh blackcurrant at mid-palate, balanced sweet and tart without cloying sweetness.
Finish: Long-lasting and delicate, with lingering dark berry sweetness and a subtle dried-fruit depth.
Awards: Gold Medal, San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
ABV: 16% (32 Proof)
