BRANDY FRUIT & EAU DE VIE

BAILONI AUSTRIA Bailoni is heralded as the first apricot distillery in Wachau, Austria. The family-owned company has a rich tradition in distilling since 1872, within its original 350 year old building.

The silty soil in which the trees grow, called loess, imparts the ultra-sweet and juicy character of the fruit and the intense deep apricot flavor. In the spring the trees open their blossoms; an experience that contends with cherry blossom time in Washington D.C. or Japan. The apricot fruit that matures in late summer, mid-July to August, is packed with pectin, acid, and sugar. The perfect
