ABV 43: Raspberry Liqueur Tasting/Review

Again, I appologize ahead for the audio quality, this time the wrong mic was used to record the show and that mic was too far away from the table. Today we’re tasting a couple raspberry liqueur/schnapps in a 3-bottle tasting/review. We’ve got Chateau Monet, Chambord and Raspberry di Amore all at slightly different price points.

    The description you made of the colour and the taste of the Chambord gave me the impression that your bottle of Chambord was open since a little time. Red fruit liqueurs oxidate within a few days. The only way to slow down this process is to keep it in the fridge.

    If you are looking at top raspberry liqueur, I recommend: Boudier.
    Furthermore their cassis liqueur is THE one to use for a Kir.

  • Yeah, the chambord has no doubt been around awhile, I believe it's gone now though :)
  • Please don't take this the wrong way, but for some reason the sound quality is not as good as usual.
  • Correct, it's awful. I hate it. I mention that in the notes below the episode and apologized. Unfortunately Jennifer recorded out of the wrong microphone and once we had it done, it wasn't worthwhile trying to re-do the episode since we'd know the tastes and doing it blind wouldn't be as valuable.

    So, we just suffer with the audio as we have it..
  • Yeah, I didn't see the note about that until after I posted that and was going to edit it. Oh well. Thanks for the reply, I only said something because usually the production quality is great. Awesome shows.
  • Yeah, I'm a stickler for perfection. These type of things drive me insane, makes me very angry.

    As far as Cachaca is concerned I guess you can't ignore Pitu, can you ;)? At least in Europe it's by the far the most popular one.
  • Pitu? I don't know if we have that... :(
