Distiller Notes
Astonishingly fruit-forward and wildly aromatic on the nose. On the palate, dry but redolent of ripe Bartlett pears, with subtle honey notes and a hint of spice.

Wine Enthusiast
One of the bolder pear brandies, it offers a bright, slightly sweet fresh pear and honey aroma. Flavor-wise it offers a big pop of rounded pear warmed with baking spice entices up front. Made from dry-farmed organic Bartlett pears, about 30 pounds of fruit per bottle.

Taking its name from the Dutch term, brandewijn, for burnt or cooked wine, in the broadest sense of the term, Brandy is any liquor made from the distillation of fruit wine. Though any kind of fruit may be used, wine grapes are the most common. Clear Brandy, commonly referred to as Eau de Vie, is unaged and bottled directly after distillation. Finer grape-based Brandies are often aged in oak barrels for anywhere from two years (VS) to six years (XO) or longer, gradually gaining color and complexity as they interact with the wood.
