History
Created by Peter Heering in Copenhagen in 1818. It became internationally famous through the Singapore Sling, invented at Raffles Hotel around 1915. The brand maintains the original recipe after 200 years.
How it’s made
Made by macerating Danish cherries and spices in neutral spirit for up to 5 years, then blending with a small amount of brandy and sweetening. The long maceration creates complex, deep cherry flavor beyond fresh fruit.
