Distillerie Mette Poire Williams Eau de Vie. 375ml

Product description

Eau-de-vie distilled in Ribeauvillé, Haut-Rhin, in the Alsace region of France

Distilled from Poire Williams (known as Bartlett Pears in the US); the fruit is picked and stored in small wooden boxes (5 kg maximum) to allow for further, even ripening

Crushed and then fermented for eight weeks in fiberglass tanks with no additional sugar or yeast

Twice distilled on a Charente-style copper pot still

After distillation, the eau-de-vie is placed in stainless steel vats for 6–8 years. These vats are kept in an outdoor courtyard and the opening covered in mesh so that the spirit may blow off unwanted esters and benefit from fluctuation in temperature.

Approximately 11 pounds of pears are required to produce one 375 ml bottle of eau-de-vie

Pungent green pear skin & cinnamon stick on the nose transitions to a full mouthfeel that hints at white and purple flowers with an underlying note of sweetened red bean paste before finishing dry and dusty

42% ABV
