BRANDY EAU-DE-VIE

BLUME MARILLEN AUSTRIA Since 1932 the Purkhart family has produced award winning eau-de-vie, schnapps and liqueurs. Renowned for his exacting standards and consistent quality, Günter Purkhart has taught distillation technique to many of today’s leading producers.

This lovely eau-de-vie embodies the apricot orchard in full bloom. Un-aged fruit brandy best lightly chilled as a digestif. “Top EDV Producer” Wine & Spirits MASSENEZ FRANCE, ALSACE Founded in 1870 in Alsace, Distillerie G. E.

Massenez Poire Williams Pear Brandy w/Pear Bottle 80PF / 750ML Juicy and mouthwatering, with lots of bold fruit on the palate plus a subtle flick of vanilla, this Williams pear brandy would make a lovely dessert accompaniment or after-dinner sip.

POLI DISTILLERIE ITALY, VENETO Jacopo Poli is known to be one of the top distillers in the world, it just so happens that the spirits he makes most is grappa. They sit at the foot of the Dolemite mountains, and just over those hills sits the areas of Germany and Alsace most known for making fruit eau de vies. These fruit brandies are a true expression of his distilling genius. Poli Distillerie Pere di Poli 80PF / 750ML Williams pears are harvested and left to ripen in baskets until the ideal moment, even one day more or less can make the difference. The distillation takes place with Athanor, our bain-marie alembic built in 2000 as per the indications of “Liber de Arte Destillandi” by Hieronimus Brunschwyg, published in May 1500 in Strasburg. The result is a fruit brandy with a typical pear aroma, to be enjoyed at cool temperature during spring evenings. ST. GEORGE SPIRITS CALIFORNIA Since St. George Spirits was founded in 1982, they’ve grown from a dedicated eau-de-vie distillery into a diverse operation that makes a range of craft spirits. St. George California Reserve Apple Brandy Limited/ Seasonal — Like fall in a glass! 80PF / 750ML “Several years ago, St. George Spirits produced an unaged apple brandy for Eleven Madison Park in New York City, blended from varieties such as Spitzenburg, Jonagold, Fall Pippin, McIntosh, Braeburn and Rome Beauty. They didn’t send all of it to the restaurant, however: they stashed some in oak barrels. Now, three years later, the brandy has retained its tart red apple juiciness and minerality and picked up an almost amaretto cookie-like nuttiness.”
