Merlet’s Soeurs Cerises reinvents a great classic, the cherry brandy. The Merlets source
different varieties of cherries, including Morellos, for their wide aromatic range. This liqueur is produced using various traditional methods. The cherries are first soaked in pure alcohol to extract all their flavours, then pressed and filtered. This natural fruit infusion is blended with cherry distillate for more powerful aromas, cherry juice for fresh cherry notes and some acidity and a little bit of cognac for more depth and complexity. Sugar is then added to obtain the final liqueur.
