Montmorency Cherry Liqueur

Herzegovinian Cherry Brandy is sweet liqueur which is produced from the cherry Maraska, grown in Herzegovina, and is the first Cherry Brandy made of cherry grown in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Because of climate conditions and soil composition on the territory of Herzegovina, the cherry Maraska has an extremely high quality and is very rich with an involatile aromatic substance which is basic precondition for the quality of the liqueur.

Herzegovinian Cherry Brandy is made by method of maceration, but in the traditional way, so the fresh picked fruit of cherry Maraska are immersed in alcohol. The cherry Maraska fruit used for production of the Herzegovinian Cherry Brandy is manually gathered, and during the gathering selection of fruit is performed, so green and damaged fruit is cast aside, what guarantee a high quality of in that way produced liqueur.

After more than 40-45 days in alcohol, by pressing of cherries, alcoholised juice of the cherry Maraska is produced, and from which, by adding sugar and distillates, is produced the Herzegovinian Cherry Brandy. Alcoholised cherry juice is not filtrated but is settled down by natural method, which intensify the taste of cherry in the liqueur and gives additional quality to taste and aroma. In the Herzegovinian Cherry Brandy the taste of cherry Maraska is so intensive and sweet that it feels like eating fresh cherries.

Herzegovinian Cherry Brandy contains 26% vol. alcohol and is filled in glass bottles of 0,70L and in small bottle of 50ml, popularly called "unučić".

For the SAD market our Herzegovinian Cherry Brandy is named Montmorency Cherry Liqueur and is filled in the same packaging with additional 50ml of liqueur in bottle cap in order to satisfy SAD standards.
