DEF

Aguardiente de cerezas fermentadas.

CONT

Para fabricar kirsch se aplastan las cerezas ya maduras cuidando, no obstante, de no partir los huesos. Se deja macerar la pulpa y luego se destila. El olor característico de este aguardiente se debe a la presencia de ínfimas proporciones de ácido cianhídrico y de aldehído benzoico.
