Production method
Production is based on maceration of cherries (reported to be the so-called Stevns cherries) — the fruit is crushed including the pits, spices/botanicals are added; this is followed by a period of maturation in oak barrels during which sugar is incorporated.
Ageing
Maturation in oak barrels (various sources indicate a period of about 3–5 years)
Producer history Heering
Heering was founded in 1818 in Copenhagen by Peter F. Heering, who began producing a cherry-based liqueur using a family recipe.

In 2017 the Cherry Heering brand was acquired by De Kuyper Royal Distillers, which currently manages its portfolio and distribution.
Production philosophy
The brand emphasizes heritage, craftsmanship and the use of natural ingredients: Heering states it produces its liqueur with real cherries and botanicals, following the traditional family recipe to achieve a rich, recognisable flavor suitable both for neat drinking and as a cocktail ingredient.
