Bols Cherry Brandy Liqueur 70cl

This is the cherry brandy liqueur you reach for when you want real fruit vibes in the mix, not a sugar bomb. Made in Amsterdam, it’s bold, dark-fruity, and instantly upgrades cocktail classics with that unmistakable cherry-and-stone-fruit depth.

• Nose: Black cherry, cherry pie filling, a little marzipan, and a faint herbal spice.
• Taste: Rich cherry sweetness up front, then baked plum, almond, and a subtle brandy warmth that keeps it from feeling sticky.
• Finish: Lingering sour-cherry tang with a nutty, lightly spiced aftertaste.

Why it deserves shelf space, it does one job incredibly well. It gives cocktails a deep cherry core that reads like fruit, not flavouring. That means your Singapore Sling tastes like it has structure, your Blood & Sand stops being a novelty, and anything with citrus suddenly has a darker, rounder bass note.

It’s also an easy way to add complexity when your home bar feels one-dimensional. A small pour can pull caramel notes out of whisky, make rum feel more dessert-like, or give gin a jammy counterpoint without turning the whole drink into a cherry soda.

Amsterdam on the label isn’t just trivia. Bols has been part of the city’s drinking culture for centuries, and this bottle feels built for mixing, dependable flavour, consistent profile, and no drama when you’re following a recipe.

Use it anywhere a recipe calls for cherry brandy or cherry liqueur, it’s a classic cocktail workhorse. If you’re building a bar for grown-up, fruit-driven drinks, this is one of those “why didn’t I buy this earlier” bottles.

Fun Fact: Bols dates back to 1575, which makes it one of the oldest spirits brands still making bottles you can buy today.
