Produced at the Royal Dirkzwager Distillery in Schiedam, the Netherlands, this expression stands apart through its all-natural double infusion process, which distills real raspberries and cocoa into a wheat-based spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e ABV: 35% (70 Proof)  |  Origin: Schiedam, Netherlands  |  Style: Chocolate Raspberry Liqueur  |  Distillery: Royal Dirkzwager\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eProduction \u0026amp; Heritage\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoyal Dirkzwager Distillery operates out of Schiedam, a city with centuries of Dutch distilling tradition and historically one of the world's most concentrated centers of spirit production. The base spirit is distilled from a premium wheat blend sourced from Holland, Germany, and France, providing a clean, neutral canvas for flavoring. The defining production step is an all-natural double infusion: real raspberries and fine cocoa are introduced in two separate stages, layering fruit and chocolate character without relying on artificial flavoring agents. This technique gives the finished liqueur a depth that distinguishes it from single-pass flavored spirits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich cocoa arrives first, followed by a bright burst of ripe raspberry.

At 35% ABV, it carries significantly more backbone than many dessert liqueurs, which often land between 15% and 20%. The wheat base sourced from three countries provides a clean, neutral platform that lets the natural chocolate and raspberry flavors remain front and center.
