Each apricot tree is harvested 6 times over the course of a month and a half to ensure only the ripest fruit is distilled to craft this exquisite eau-de-vie. Tasting Notes An astounding apricot eau-de-vie produced by Hans Reisetbauer in Axberg, Austria, using apricots grown for Hans by his best friend and acclaimed wine producer, Bernhard Ott. Because the climate in Axberg is too rainy for apricot production, Hungarian Best and Klosterneuburger apricots are sourced from Wagram in Lower Austria, where they are biodynamically grown in the ideal soil and climate for optimal apricot production. Starting in July, the apricots are harvested 6 times over the course of a month and a half to ensure only the ripest fruit is distilled. After harvesting, the apricots are pitted and immediately fermented at 19 C (roughly 66 F) for 810 days Distilled twice in a Christian Carl copper pot still and rested 3 years in stainless steel, it takes approximately 16 kg (over 25 lbs) of apricots to produce a single liter of this exquisite eau-de-vie. It can be tricky to find the perfect apricot out of a bunch, but Hans has taken the guesswork out of the equation by crafting an eau-de-vie which perfectly captures the essence of ripe apricot without oxidation. White pepper and apricot flesh lead on a surprisingly delicate nose while warming, ripe apricot, jasmine tea, and nutmeg define the palate of this silky eau-de-vie. 42% Abv. |
