Little Cottonwood
Liqueur
Proof: 35% Alc. by Vol. (70 Proof)
A slightly sweeter herbal liqueur distilled from a cherry base with orange, ginger and cardamom. The orange brings a brightness to a palette of warming ginger, balanced with cooling cardamom. Great chilled or in cocktails.
Sizes: 375ml
Distillers Notes
Cherries from Yellow Bay on Flathead Lake are pressed, fermented, and distilled into a neutral spirit. During the spirit run, dried orange peel, cardamom pods, and ginger are introduced to impart a delicate citrus and spice complexity. Afterward, a light sweetening rounds out the flavors, resulting in a subtly sweet herbal liqueur highlighted by bright orange, warming ginger, and cooling cardamom, all supported by a gentle cherry base.
