Products & tasting notes

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

  • Pear eau-de-vie

    Wasser

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

    About Pear →

  • Berries & Wild Fruit Geist

    Geist

    Wild and foraged — bramble, hedgerow and mountain fruit — sharp, aromatic and complex, often with a bittersweet edge. Macerated as a Geist, so the emphasis is on pure, high-toned aroma.
