Distiller Notes
Ideal, typical carrot flavor; crisply fresh with bittersweet, slightly earthy notes on the palate, well-differentiated, balanced fruit with a long finish.
The carrots are washed and immediately cut up and chopped to a mash. To avoid oxidation the fruits are pumped into a stainless steel fermenting tank. Now fermentation starts and the mash is agitated on a daily basis. The fermentation temperature is 16 to 17 °C and takes 7 to 8 days. The fermented mash is distilled twice and with great care. 35 kg of carrots are needed for one liter of 100% pure eau de vie.

Eau de Vie, or ‘water of life,’ is a term in France that refers to any unaged or newly-made spirit in general. However English-speaking countries follow a narrower definition, applying the name only to clear, unaged Brandies that are twice distilled and made from fruit other than grapes. Many fine examples of Eau de Vies are produced all over the world.
