Berry Liqueur with a gin base, 20% alcohol
Berry Liqueur by Olgar Distillery is an aromatic gin liqueur that combines a gin base with fresh, ripe forest berries, juniper, spices, and fruit ingredients. The finished drink contains 20% alcohol.
The liqueur has a rich aroma of juniper and berries, with a flavor profile that combines sweet and slightly bitter berry notes.
The production process of Berry Gin Liqueur
The production process begins with gin based on pomegranate or citrus fruit. The gin base undergoes two distillations before passing through an additional distillation using a spice basket.
The spice basket contains a unique blend of at least 12 different spices, including juniper berries, pepper, coriander seeds, angelica root, allspice, and other ingredients according to the distillery's secret recipe.
Fresh forest berries and plum juice
Crushed fresh, ripe forest berries are added to the prepared gin base together with plum juice and natural fruit sugar.
Citrus peel is also used in the production of the drink and contributes to its fruit and spice character.
Four-month infusion
After the berries, plum juice, and fruit sugar are added, the drink is left to infuse for four months. During this period, the fruit components combine with the gin base and develop the characteristic profile of the liqueur.
How is it different from Sloe Gin?
Some people compare this drink to the well-known Sloe Gin. However, the production process is different.
Berry Liqueur by Olgar Distillery is based entirely on fresh, ripe fruit from farmers in the Galilee and Golan Heights and is produced according to the distillery's own process.
Unlike regular gin, this drink is sweeter and contains significantly less alcohol, which is why it is considered more of a gin liqueur than a traditional gin.
12 spices and juniper aroma
At least 12 different spices are used during production. These include juniper berries, pepper, coriander seeds, angelica root, allspice, and additional ingredients from the distillery's secret recipe.
The combination of juniper, spices, and forest berries gives the drink its rich aroma and characteristic sweet and bitter flavor profile.
