Anton Kaapl Sour Cherry 0,5l 47%

Anton Kaapl Sour Cherry is an honest fruit distillate produced by alcoholic fermentation and subsequent distillation of carefully selected sour cherries. It is diluted exclusively with soft demineralized water from a 102-meter-deep well in the Klikov formation of the Třeboň Basin. No sugar, no flavorings, no other additives.

Tasting profile:

The original mix of sour cherry varieties gives rise to a distillate with a distinctive yet light aromatic profile. The aroma features fresh stone fruit tones with a subtle almond note typical of sour cherries. The taste is surprisingly smooth, clean, and harmonious, with a long, elegant finish.

Production:

High-quality distillation under the supervision of an experienced master distiller preserves the natural character of the fruit and ensures the exceptional smoothness of the final distillate. This makes Anton Kaapl Sour Cherry one of the smoothest fruit distillates on offer.

Serving recommendation:

DO NOT CHILL OR FREEZE.

The ideal serving temperature is 12–18 °C. Too low a temperature would suppress the aromatic components and unnecessarily close the flavor profile of the distillate.
