Tasting Notes This hazelnut spirit is produced by Hans Reisetbauer in Axberg, Austria, from the finest hazelnuts sourced from the Piedmont region. This bottling is not technically an eau-de-vie; the base of this rich spirit is estate-grown Mulan winter wheat, as hazelnuts do not have the sugar content needed for fermentation. The hazelnuts are harvested in September and October, roasted twice, skinned, and macerated in the twice-distilled neutral base spirit for 46 weeks. The resulting maceration is distilled once more in a Christian Carl copper pot still and rested three years in stainless steel, yielding an opulent, sweet-and-savory aroma, with a deceptively dry finish. It takes 3 kg of hazelnuts to produce one liter of eau-de-vie. Aromas of hazelnut skin, cacao, and faint Cadbury cream egg and orange zest. The dry, oily palate displays pure hazelnut through and through to the bright, clean finish. 40% Abv. |
