The complex taste of liquor is its undoubted plus. Cherry and currant leaves give it a mysterious spicy flavor. Cherry branches are also placed in the liquor, and that particular shade appears, which is characteristic of drinks stored in wooden barrels. Cherry and currants get along, berries create a delicious new mix. Readiness for liquor will have to wait only three to four days. During this time, the taste acquires stable stability, and in the future it almost does not change. The strength of the liquor will not be prohibitive, it is consistent with the class of light alcohol-based berry drinks.
