ALFRED SCHLADERER |
| Clear and colourless. Intense, spicy, airplane glue-tinged, spicy, dried cherry nose. Very dry, medium bodied, somewhat peppery, intense, dried cherry flavours with a lingering, fairly complex, faintly resiny finish. All in all, it seems a tad rough. Has 42% alcohol with lot number L5612021 on the back label. |

| TASTING NOTE: Notes: This is a Eau de Vie (more specifically a Kirsch) made from cherries from Germany's famous Black Forest and distilled in copper pot stills in small batches. It does not use bulk ethanol and chemical flavors like some (O.K., most) of its competitors. It uses a much more true (but expensive) process requiring about 10 kilos (22 pounds) of cherries for each bottle, and is from a traditional area of production. Appearance: Clear bright, no impurities whatsoever, on swirling it leaves a thick clear coat on the inside of the glass, shows some legs, then crinkly edges turning to a batch of small droplets. If it did anything else we would suspect some sort of chemical enhancement to add body. First Impression: Luscious deep cherry, it has that wonderful, very specific smell that only comes from black cherries from the Black Forest - a depth and complexity other cherry brandies usually lack. Taste: The bouquet is a wonderful prelude to the follow though- the actual taste. This Kisrchwasser seems to have captured the very essence of the morello cherry, dryish long finish with a wonderful afterglow. THIS IS NOT a sweetened cherry/cough drop kind of chemical cherry flavored vodka or (shudder) whiskey. This is a wonderful deep,dry cherry- it bears no relationship to those products. Wonderfully subtle, deep and textured with no detectable faults ... Classic. Score - 9 (out of 10) (Chris Carlsson, spiritsreview.com, Undated) |
