Brontë Liqueur is made in Yorkshire, England from a recipe that combines blackberry and sloe berries with honey and jasmine.

The man behind this liqueur is Sir James Aykroyd, whose great grandfather, Sir James Roberts, bought the Haworth village parsonage in 1928 and gifted the building to the Brontë Society.

The original Brontë Liqueur was honey based and presented in a ceramic jug but Sir James Aykroyd acquired the brand name and in September 2014 launched this new blackberry and sloe incarnation of Bronte Liqueur.

A small donation to support the work of the Bronte Society is made with every bottle sold.

Pungent red berry with slight medicinal aroma.
