Melbourne-based rye whisky distillery, The Gospel, has created a rich new liqueur ready for festive drink-making – Spiced Blackberry Rye.

The Gospel has collaborated with fellow distillers, Marionette Liqueur, in a partnership formed from a shared mission to produce local, independently made products, and an aim to create a quality liqueur that celebrates an Australian expression at its best.

Made under the distillery’s Dispensary line, which features experimental spirits made for the Gospel staff, Spiced Blackberry Rye is a rich, whiskey-based blackberry liqueur.

The Gospel stated the liqueur celebrates its rye character, balanced with local blackberries and spices, resulting in a burst of rich blackberry, earthy nuances and warm yuletide flavours.

Made for mixing, Spiced Blackberry Rye is intended to be enjoyed around friends and family in upcoming festive celebrations. It is now available online at thegospelwhiskey.com for RRP $45.00.
