KIRSCH or Kirschwasser

a liqueur distilled from fermented sweet black cherries--the finest types from the sweet aromatic small black wild cherry. The pulp of the fruit is first crushed and allowed to ferment, then a certain quantity of the cherry kernels is added and allowed to steep, the juice being finally expressed for distillation.
