Chambord

Chambord is a black raspberry liqueur from France, and, to me, one of the best. It seems like it should be an old brand like Cointreau or Cherry Heering, but it is less than 40 years old.

From Wikipedia:
The Chambord brand was founded in 1982. The drink was inspired by raspberry liqueur made in the Loire Valley in the late 1600s, said to have been introduced to Louis XIV during one of his visits to the Château de Chambord. It was common during that time for liqueurs and cognac to be consumed with elegant meals.

It is a 16.5% abv raspberry liqueur.... Chambord is made from red and black raspberries, Madagascar vanilla, Moroccan citrus peel, honey and cognac.
