RiverSands Distillery KennLueur Liqueur

by | May 15, 2015

Remember those sweet, spicy date cookies with the brown butter frosting that your grandma used to make every year at Christmas? Well, KennLueur Liqueur is kind of like that.

Dreamed up by RiverSands Distillery in Kennewick, Washington, the unique liqueur is based in RiverSands’ grape brandy (from Columbia Valley Merlot), imbued with a brown-sugary sweetness thanks to a combination of sugar and honey, and complicated with a quick infusion of fresh rosemary for a subtly floral aroma and finish. Aging has let cinnamon and clove spice notes develop, apparent on the palate. At 30 percent ABV, it’s exceptionally sippable, and though its flavors hint at the holidays, it’s lovely year-round.
