DeKuyper Creme de Cassis Liqueur 750ml

DeKuyper Crème de Cassis comes from De Kuyper Royal Distillers, the Dutch family firm that has been distilling since 1695 and today operates from Schiedam, near Rotterdam. Crème de cassis itself has a much older backstory in France, where blackcurrant liqueur was originally used as a folk remedy for snakebite before becoming a fashionable drink among Burgundian aristocracy in the 1800s. DeKuyper has brought its own version of this French classic into wide circulation, making it one of the more accessible cassis liqueurs on the American market.

This liqueur is made from natural blackcurrant extract blended with neutral spirit and sweetened to produce a rich, fruit-forward profile. DeKuyper follows the same essential approach used across its crème range, prioritizing consistent, concentrated fruit character over small-batch maceration, which keeps the liqueur affordable and dependable from bottle to bottle. The result is a deep red liqueur built primarily for mixing rather than sipping neat.

DeKuyper Crème de Cassis pours a deep purple-red and opens with a clean, intense blackcurrant aroma. The palate delivers immediate fruity sweetness balanced by a touch of natural tartness, with a light peppery warmth from the alcohol, finishing smooth with a lingering blackcurrant note that makes it a natural match for a Kir Royale.
