Produced in Herefordshire by White Heron Drinks, this liqueur is made using blackcurrants grown on the producer’s own farm, reflecting a strong focus on provenance and sustainability. Inspired by the traditional French creme de cassis style, it offers a distinctly British interpretation, highlighting the natural intensity and freshness of locally sourced fruit. The emphasis is on quality of raw ingredients and minimal intervention to preserve authentic flavour.
Blackcurrants are carefully harvested and macerated to extract colour, aroma, and depth, with blending aimed at maintaining balance between sweetness and natural acidity. The result is a more vibrant and fruit-driven profile compared to heavier, more syrupy styles. Positioned in the premium tier, it offers a refined and contemporary expression of cassis, suited to both aperitif service and cocktail use.
