Kopparberg Cherry Rum, 70cl

Product Information

Now, for those of us in the UK Kopparberg are most famous for their Pear and Mixed Fruits ciders. Which are probably only eclipsed in terms of sales by Strongbow and Strongbow Dark Fruits. Mainly because they are cheaper. Indeed, Kopparberg are the choice of your more sophisticated chav with a few more pennies to spend. You’ve got to look good drinking on those street corners. Nothing says class quite like a bottle of Kopparberg Mixed Fruits and a similarly flavoured vape in your cake hole. Alongside god know what else, as the night goes on…….

Cristalino tequilas continue to see significant growth as tequila enthusiasts seek premium offerings with unique finishing and ageing features,” said Alex Coronado, Head of Production and Master Distiller for Reserva de la Familia. “Reserva de la Familia Añejo Cristalino Organico embodies everything that makes Cristalino tequilas so dynamic. The handcrafted production process paired with the unique finish from Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks makes for a remarkable tequila that is ideally suited for tequila aficionados seeking a luxury sipping experience.” I doubt many of you reading this would have been expecting a glowing review of this but even I’m surprised how much of a mess they have made of it.

As a brand famous for taste, we’re tearing up the rulebook this summer with new Kopparberg Cherry Rum, which is inspired by the animals that come alive at night in the dark Swedish forests surrounding the town of Kopparberg, and is our first move into rum. As warm evenings turn to night, tempo and energy builds and the bass gets louder; we invite anyone who also dares to be different in the dark to give its new Cherry Rum a try. Kojey Radical said, “I attribute a lot of my success to performing at small and independent venues in London and when Kopparberg, as an independent brand with a love of music, approached me to collaborate, it seemed like the perfect way to show my support. Rum is my go-to drink before a gig, and I often find myself sipping on a rum whilst doodling and working on my lyrics. Kopparberg’s new Dark Fruit Rum has a real depth of taste, which fuelled my creativity and inspired me to design the artwork for the limited-edition T-Shirts. This artwork is a symbol of feeling like a superhero when creating, with the intention of making others feel that same energy when they’re interacting with the creation, be it music, videos, or visual art.” My life’s work as an advocate for the art of authentic tequila making and the protection of its rich history and culture is embedded into Casa Obsidiana’s tequilas,” says Francisco Quijana, Master Tequilero at Casa Obsidiana. If this had just tasted like the sherbet out of a Double Dip it would have been bad but not quite as horrific as this. It’s almost as if they have poured a Cherry flavoured cider into a generic Spiced Rum and seen what would happen. The Cuervo family is proud to share that this new addition is certified organic, joining Reserva de la Familia Platino and Reposado variants as the brand’s latest organic offering. Organic certification is a key next step in Reserva de la Familia’s mission to produce the finest luxury tequila possible.

Casa Obsidiana Añejo: An ode to Mexican cubism, the Casa Obsidiana Añejo bottle’s rich red colour represents the iron-rich volcanic earth of its estate agave fields. The Añejo is aged for 15 months and has an aroma of oak, coffee, clove, and candied citrus. Tasting notes include butterscotch, cinnamon, raisins, and roasted agave. Rob Salvesen, our Head of Marketing here at Kopparberg said, “Supporting independent music, artists and the venues they play in is a big focus for us as an independent brand, and we’ve teamed up with Kojey Radical, an exciting and credible artist, to highlight the importance of supporting venues during this turbulent time. Kojey’s T-shirt design has been inspired by the bottle of our new Kopparberg Dark Fruit Rum, and it completely embodies our product tagline of being ‘Different in the Dark’ and coming alive at night. We know that Kopparberg fans and fans of Kojey alike will enjoy this limited-edition range of T-shirts, which support the Music Venue Trust; a charity close to both ours and Kojey’s heart.” To turn the añejo spirit into the Cristalino tequila style, the deep amber liquid is filtered through charcoal to produce an incredibly smooth, bright-tasting tequila, crystal clear in colour while retaining the rich flavours and textures imparted by the barrel. The final result is a tequila with an extra Sherry softness and complex flavour profile that features notes of cooked agave and dried fruits, with lasting notes of oak and a bright, refreshing finish.

BECKMANN GONZALEZ AND BOISSET FAMILIES LAUNCH CASA OBSIDIANA

Despite being primarily known as a musician, Kojey Radical started in the world of fashion and his passion for storytelling is displayed through his exemplary visuals and creative output, which have become as much as a calling card for the respected young artist as the music itself. His last EP started as a capsule collection and turned it into a body of work. This time round, the fashion focus drew inspiration from the new Kopparberg Dark Fruit Rum and with both parties focused on supporting the independent music space, the limited-edition T-Shirts were born.
