Blackberry & Balsamic Bitters - also know as "Rich Berry"

An aromatic bitter essence created in the tradition of old English ‘shrub’ cordials. A perfect marriage of house dried Karaka blackberries and tart pomegranate balsamic vinegar; perfectly balanced to compliment any rich fruit cocktail or mixer.

Designed with cocktails in mind, Elemental Blackberry & Balsamic Bitters is made from a maceration of 100% natural ingredients sourced from New Zealand farms and co-operatives. Made entirely by hand in batches of less than 250 bottles with no artificial sugar or colouring.

Ingredients: 

Blackberries ‘Karaka Black’ (Julian’s Berry Farm, Whakatane, NZ) Pomegranate balsamic vinegar (Divinity Olives NZ Ltd, Mangawhai, NZ ) • Dark muscovado sugar • Gentian bark

About Elemental Distillers:

Established in 2016, ELEMENTAL DISTILLERS is the brainchild of Ben Leggett, a New Zealand born freelance drinks writer and international spirits ambassador with a passion for the unique and boutique.

After 13 years working in the UK and EU drinks industry representing luxury spirit brands from cognac to scotch to gin, Ben launched his own brand of cocktail bitters in the UK to great success.

Now back in his home country and inspired by the global craft spirits boom, Ben aims to open Marlborough’s first dedicated craft distillery and help establish a global reputation for New Zealand spirits built on naturally grown, local ingredients.

Each blend of their aromatic bitters delivers two perfectly paired primary ingredients, enhanced by complimenting botanicals. All ingredients are macerated into a neutral base spirit sustainably produced from the bi-product of their national cheese industry.
ELEMENTAL BITTERS are made entirely by hand in batches of no more than 250 bottles each from 100% natural ingredients.

OUR GOAL

To produce internationally recognised premium spirits and liqueurs in small batches, from the finest of homegrown ingredients. To achieve this, we work closely with independent farmers and cooperatives to ensure we get the finest quality ingredients from those who know and grow them best.
