First Impressions
Riverside Spirits Blackberry Gin Liqueur brings dark berry sweetness with vanilla and black pepper depth — handmade in Cheshire with natural ingredients at 20%. The preserve-maker's understanding of fruit is evident.
Tasting
The nose is dark berry. On the palate, prominent blackberry with tartness, vanilla and pepper. The finish lingers with berry warmth.
The Bottom Line
Riverside Blackberry earns a 6 for natural berry liqueur with vanilla-pepper complexity. Best with sparkling wine or as a vanilla ice cream topping. Family-made Cheshire craft.
