Products & tasting notes

Representative of the styles this house makes; specific bottlings and vintages vary.

  • Cherry eau-de-vie

    Wasser

    Clear and bone-dry, with bright cherry fruit and the signature whisper of almond and marzipan from the stones.

    About Cherry →

  • Raspberry Geist

    Geist

    Vivid fresh raspberry leaping from the glass; dry on the palate, intensely aromatic and pure. Macerated as a Geist, so the emphasis is on pure, high-toned aroma.

    About Raspberry →

  • Pear eau-de-vie

    Wasser

    Ripe, floral Williams pear — juicy and perfumed — with a clean, faintly peppery finish.

    About Pear →

  • Plum eau-de-vie

    Wasser

    Deep dark-plum and stone fruit, earthy and full; oak, spice and dried-fruit richness when barrel-aged.
