Hiram Walker Blackberry 70 Proof Brandy 750ml
DescriptionHiram Walker Blackberry Brandy brings the essence of summer berries to year-round availability in this classic flavored brandy that has graced American bars and homes for decades. This 70-proof expression delivers more alcoholic presence than typical liqueurs while maintaining the approachable sweetness that makes fruit brandies popular for both mixing and casual sipping.
The deep purple color immediately signals blackberry intensity, while the nose delivers exactly what's expected – sweet blackberry jam aromas with hints of vanilla and subtle spice. It's straightforward and unpretentious, designed to deliver consistent blackberry flavor rather than complexity. On the palate, rich berry sweetness dominates, with the higher proof providing welcome balance that prevents cloying sweetness while adding warming finish.
The 70-proof strength sets this apart from lower-proof alternatives, providing better structure for cocktails while maintaining smoothness for those who enjoy it neat or on the rocks. Hiram Walker's production ensures batch-to-batch consistency, making it a reliable choice for recipes that depend on predictable flavor and sweetness levels. This is blackberry flavor designed for practical use rather than contemplation.
This versatile brandy serves multiple purposes beyond cocktail mixing. It's traditional in some regions as a cold-weather warmer, excellent drizzled over ice cream, and adds berry depth to sangrias and punches. In cocktails, use it to add berry sweetness to whiskey drinks or create colorful, fruity cocktails that please crowds. The distinctive color makes it valuable for layered drinks or adding visual appeal. This bottle represents American fruit brandy tradition in its most accessible form.
