The James Bay Cherbanero vodka is a cherry and habanero spirit for discerning drinkers alike to try out when looking for something that's unexpectedly sweet and slightly spicy.
The spirit is crafted with about 40 black cherries for every bottle produced and is made with habanero peppers, but the distillers have been able to keep the sweetness and ditch most of the heat. This results in a decidedly fruity flavor profile that offers a warm finish with the spirit registering at just over 30 Scoville units to ensure it's only a touch spicy.
James Bay Distillers President Ernest Troth commented on the James Bay Cherbanero vodka saying, "Cherbanero is naturally sweet, both from our corn distillaton and the cherries. It pairs well with cherry pie and cobbler, of course, or served neat after dinner. Served over ice, Cherbanero shines with both habanero heat and the cold from the ice."
