White Possum Naked Maraschino Cherries
Cocktail enthusiasts, this is for you. White Possum have brought back maraschino cherries that are actually soaked in boozy maraschino. It's a dose of tradition with a modern twist. To make them, the cherries are infused in White Possum's Naked Maraschino liqueur, itself fermented and distilled from cherries and native quandongs. They add a lick of sugar and a dash of almond oil to the liqueur before infusing this 'pickling liquid' into the heart of every cherry. The cherries are macerated for several weeks and continue to develop in flavour while they're in the jar. These are stemless cherries. Each jar is approximately 250g in net weight, comprising roughly 50% cherries to 50% alcoholic pickling liquid. Please be mindful that despite best efforts there may occasionally be pits inside, so take care. Contains precisely 0.0% artificial colours, flavours and preservatives. Vegan friendly - White Possum don't use any animal products nor processes throughout. Gluten free.
White Possum Naked Maraschino
Naked Maraschino is an intense cherry liqueur that fuses traditional Italian Maraschino flavours with a smattering of Australian desert peaches. This luxurious liqueur is the result of over two years of experiments and trials. Many cherries were harmed in the process and White Possum make no apologies for their actions. Their final recipe goes something like this. First, they crush a ridiculous number of sour cherries into a paste, then slowly ferment the mixture over many weeks to extract those deep funky cherry flavours. This 'cherry wine' is then distilled in a pot still where we remove the sharp 'heads' and the lousy 'tails' of the distillate. From there, they let it rest and age in a small vat until the flavour mellows a little. Then they add a rich infusion of quandongs, a semi-sweet indigenous ‘peach’ that contributes a distinctly fruity aroma, and a couple of other herbs and roots before letting all the flavours rest further and marry together in harmony. Contains no artificial colours, flavours nor preservatives. All of White Possum's liqueurs, including Naked Maraschino, are bottled in recycled glass spirit bottles where possible. These bottles, harvested from a network of bars, are given a rough massage to strip the labels off, then a hardcore rinse, sanitisation and a polish before being revived with a new liqueur filled life.
White Possum Naked Dark Cacao - Australian Bitter Chocolate Liqueur
Naked Dark Cacao is a bittersweet concoction of organic fermented cacao, a selection of earthy roots and a good measure of tangy yet floral lilly pillies.Pre-fermented to bring out all that chocolatey goodness, the maceration is aged for a month while giving it a gentle stir at regular intervals until the aroma becomes unbearably enticing. The team then adds several infusions of bitter roots for a lingering bitterness and a handful of native lilly pillies (riberries) to lend a floral note. Finally, a decent lick of dark sugar is added to bind everything together with a velvety texture.White Possum use real ingredients throughout and deliberately avoid filtering the liqueur to ensure no flavour is filtered out, so you may notice some sediment and oils that may drift out of the liqueur over time. Simply give your bottle a quick shake and all will be normal again!
White Possum Naked Hazelnut - Australian Hazelnut Liqueur
Naked Hazelnut is a rich and decadent liqueur featuring intense nutty flavours with subtle chocolate undertones.Made in White Possum's distillery in Melbourne, this is a 'revamped' take on the classic Italian recipe.To make it, the team roasts and crushes 100% Australian hazelnuts (grown on a farm in Victoria). To this nutty paste, they also mix in a smattering of organic cacao nibs to lend a little chocolatey edge. They then infuse everything patiently in spirit to slowly extract all the flavourful oils. Finally, an infusion of aromatic roots is blended in to add a touch more earthiness to the flavour profile. White Possum uses real ingredients throughout and deliberately avoid filtering the liqueur to ensure no flavour is filtered out, so you may notice some sediment and oils that may drift out of the liqueur over time. Simply give your bottle a quick shake to re-dissolve the oils once more.Contains no artificial colours, flavours nor preservatives.
