Interesting liqueur. First things first, Giffard claim two kinds of fruit for this: cherry and raspberry (?!). So just a mixed fruit liqueur. Additionally there is also some brandy of unknown description. Does taste relatively like fresh sweet cherry with a little bit of that medicinal cherry cough syrup that a lot of us detect with cherry liqueurs in general. When I feel I need more substance, I always add a little bit of additional Cognac to make it more regal and a bit dryer.

I’d love to know, how does this compare to Cherry Heering?

From memory Giffard is lighter and fruitier while Herring is more full-bodied. Both are great liqueurs.
