Riga Black Balsam BLACK is a traditional herbal liqueur with deep-rooted history and distinctive character. The original recipe was developed in the mid-18th century by pharmacist Abraham Kunze in Riga – originally intended as a medicinal remedy, it quickly became a popular indulgence. In 1781, the balsam even received official approval from Russian Empress Catherine II, which boosted its renown far beyond Latvia's borders. Today, Riga Black Balsam stands as a symbol of Latvian drinking culture and is appreciated worldwide as a uniquely flavorful herbal bitter.

The Black Edition combines the classic herbal profile with a fruity-sweet note, impressing with a harmonious combination of 24 natural ingredients – including linden blossoms, birch buds, valerian root, ginger, nutmeg, berries, and black pepper. The maturation process in oak barrels gives the balsam its bittersweet depth and characteristically dark color. With 35% alcohol by volume, it develops a pleasant warmth and intense aroma, making it an experience both neat and in modern mixed drinks. The striking ceramic-design bottle emphasizes its traditional character and also makes it an eye-catcher.
