Products & tasting notes

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

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.

Plum eau-de-vie
Wasser
Deep dark-plum and stone fruit, earthy and full; oak, spice and dried-fruit richness when barrel-aged.
