Exclusiv Black Cherry

Exclusiv Black Cherry belongs to the Exclusiv aromatic line of Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. in Kendal. Its base is double-fermented black cavendish; this process darkens the leaf's own sugar and gives a soft base for the flavouring to hold onto. A heavy cherry flavouring is applied on top. The product is sold as Exclusiv Black Cherry in the United Kingdom and as Top Black Cherry in the American market; in recent years the line's naming has been shortened to Exclusiv BC. Unlike many examples in the aromatic market, the cherry flavouring doesn't lean toward candy and almond; it carries a darker, riper, lightly bitter black-cherry character instead. It is not heavy in nicotine, though the taste is perceived as full due to the intensity of the flavouring.
