Fred Alkemil Creme De Cassis

Cassis is a traditional French liqueur but in Fred’s hands it benefits from an Italian twist. The fruit’s source on a mountain behind Polcenigo naturally produces berries with higher acid than when grown in France. Fred works with the natural strength of the botanical creating a vibrant version of cassis with a soft sweetness and delicate palate, though this belies the intensity of the blackcurrant flavor - which is almost boysenberry-like. Ends with a persistent finish that is all flavor, no cloying aftertaste.
