Took me sometime to acquire a bottle of this liqueur and I'm completely underwhelmed. Cloying and jammy, the result if you made a port reduction, heavy and syrupy. The first cocktail I tried was the Blood and Sand the Heering just overpowered the drink with a prune jam flavour. Previously I have made this cocktail with De kuyper's Cherry Brandy Liqueur which has a bright cherry flavour drying down to almond and vanilla and is perfect for making the Blood and Sand a more complex drink.
