An aromatic whinberry whisky liqueur, with a distinctive colour and flavour. In the best historic traditions, this liqueur would originally have used the whinberries growing wild on the Keeper’s Hill outside Abergavenny on the side of the Blorenge Mountain. Whilst whinberries still grow wild on this beautiful but inhospitable hill, they have used the whinberry’s cultivated cousin, the blueberry, to re-create a drink much favoured for many years by the local country folk.

Exhilarating drinks derived from the bountiful fruits of the Wye and Usk Valleys, have a long tradition with the country folk of the Southern Marches. Early spirit drinks were enhanced at Llanthony Priory by the addition of fruit, herbs and spices to flavour 'cordials', used as pick-me-ups and stimulants. Local custom continued to use the skills and secrets of past generations to produce the medieval magic of the old elixirs. In this Black Mountain Liqueur we have used a traditional recipe favoured by Granny Russell who spent a lifetime time planting, growing and brewing in the best traditional practices of the region.
