SSH… WILD BULLACE LIQUEUR HAS BEEN SPOTTED AT DEMIJOHN
A new arrival
has been spotted in the big glass bottles at Demijohn but is so elusive we are
only whispering about it. Wild Bullace Liqueur has arrived but given the
elusiveness of the bullace berries there is only a very limited supply making
this a blue moon liqueur.
Wild Bullace
is a very unusual and unknown British hedgerow fruit that belongs to the plum
family. Similar to a damson, the Bullace is a deep coloured, rich, dry fruit
which tastes delicious when steeped in gin. Produced in Worcestershire,
Demijohn believes this is the only Wild Bullace fruit liqueur in existence.
Bullace is very unpredictable in its growth so for years there will be no fruit
at all. However luckily for Demijohn, in 2013 the Bullace flourished and a new
batch of Wild Bullace Liqueur has been made.

It has a
damson-like fruity taste with a very slight bitter twist and pleasant dryness
and is delicious drunk after dinner, from a hip flask or as the basis to a
cocktail – the Wild Plum Bellini. Building on the idea of an original Venetian
Bellini, Demijohn has developed a truly British cocktail. One measure of Wild
Bullace Liqueur is poured into a champagne flute and topped up with Prosecco
and fresh plum puree and garnished with mint. This devastatingly delicious
cocktail will kick start any celebration.
Angus
Ferguson from Demijohn said: “At Demijohn we are nuts about using hedgerow
fruits and flowers to produce original and delicious drinks. Our Wild Bullace
Liqueur is exactly the type of unusual fruit liqueur we love and as well as for
drinking it can be used as the basis for many cocktails and rich sauces. We
have only had Wild Bullace Liqueur on tap twice before in our 10 years of
Demijohn, so this really is a rare species. The 2013 vintage won’t last long,
so hurry to get your hands on some!”
Wild Bullace
Liqueur is priced from £5.40/100ml and is available in the Demijohn shops in
