Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Taste Notes
- Nose: A powerful blend of sweet maraschino cherry syrup and the clean, sharp heat of high-proof grain spirit.
- Palate: An initial burst of sugary fruit juice followed by a robust alcoholic kick. The cherries maintain a surprisingly firm, crisp texture rather than becoming mushy.
- Finish: A long, warming finish with a lingering almond-like sweetness and a smooth moonshine burn.
Serving Suggestions
- The Garnish: This is the ultimate garnish for an Old Fashioned or a Manhattan. The cherry adds a boozy depth that standard maraschinos lack.
- The "Cherry Bomb": Drop a cherry into a glass of Cola or Dr. Pepper for a quick and potent spiked soda.
- Dessert: Serve over Chocolate Lava Cake or a simple scoop of vanilla ice cream to add a sophisticated, alcoholic contrast.
- The Shot: Eat the cherry first, then use the remaining cherry-infused moonshine in the jar as a high-proof "Cherry Pie" shot.
