Black Balsam 1752 by Riga Balzam is a traditional Latvian liqueur that encapsulates centuries of history and intense Baltic flavors. Produced according to the ancient recipe dating back to 1752, this distillate is a unique blend of herbs, roots, and spices gathered from the pristine forests of Latvia, giving the product an unmistakable character. Its dark color and dense appearance herald a complex and enveloping tasting experience.
On the nose, Black Balsam expresses deep and intriguing aromas, highlighting balsamic, menthol, and spicy notes, accompanied by hints of aromatic herbs and earthy roots. The palate is intense and structured, with a perfect balance of bitterness and sweetness, supported by a long finish with a slightly spicy and resinous aftertaste. Aging in barrels contributes to developing its rich taste and smoothness on the sip.
It is ideal as a digestive after meals or as a special ingredient for cocktails that require a touch of originality, as well as in mixes with citrus or tonic. Black Balsam 1752 is a celebration of Latvian tradition and a true gem for those seeking a liqueur full of personality and history.
