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 A joyous translation of dimensional pear flavors, this is an eau-de-vie that verily expresses the Williams Pear but with a personality unlike any other in the Skurnik portfolio. |
