Williams Spirit 500ml ZU PLUN
<br />PEAR WILLIAMS DISTILLATE<br /><br />Pear Williams distillate. No other fruit type is more frequently distilled in our areas than the Williams pear - it is undisputedly the queen among more or less aromatic pip<br />fruit types. Williams is a favourite, although whoever tasted a glass of a true top quality distillate will find the large majority of common or garden pear brandies flat at best,<br />even artificial at worst. Top quality is seldom reached in the industry because substantial effort is required: the Williams pear for the Zu Plun distillate come from the<br />Burgraviato and lower Venosta area near Naturno. When they are picked they need to be much riper than the pears grown for eating. Only then do they release the<br />concentrated aroma which is captured in this distillate. Freshly picked and brightly coloured, these pears are immediately cored by hand in order to avoid unwanted bitter<br />tones, then mashed straight away: a labour-intensive process where time is of the essence. One bottle of this distillate contains the aroma of more than 8 kg of fruit pulp.<br /><br />Raw material: Williams pears from Naturno and Burgraviato, Lana<br />Distillation method: discontinuous, in a copper still<br />Storage/ageing: -<br />Alcohol content: 42% VOL.<br />Content: 0.5 l<br />Colour-clearness: clear and colourless<br />Nose: Fruity aromas of fully ripe Williams pears<br />Palate: Transparent, pure-toned fruit notes with distinctive depth, mellow and well-structured<br />Finish: the finish of the most elegant among the pip fruit types stands out with remarkable, persistent length and a distinctive pithy-tart touch.<br />

Drouin Pays d'ague Reserve...
Drouin Pays D'Auge Reserve<br />Drouin France<br /><br />70 cl / 40 °<br />Typology: Calvados<br />Raw material: Apples<br />Fermentation: Indigenous yeasts<br />Method of production: Charentais Alembic<br />Box: Yes<br /><br />Why it is different:<br />We could call Drouin Pays D'auge the grand cru of the Calvados appellation, with very strict rules. The Réserve is made like all Drouin calvados: harvesting of the 30 apple<br />varieties and reaching maturity, champagne-style soft pressing with yields reduced to 65% to preserve the fragrance and freshness of the juice, spontaneous fermentation<br />with indigenous yeasts. The ciders for distillation are the youngest ones, which remain in stainless steel vats for several months, at least 5. They are fresh and fruity<br />fermented, not overly complex, and ideal for the production of distillates for short ageing. Distillation takes place in the traditional copper Charentais still, ageing in French<br />oak barrels for 4 years.<br /><br />How to drink it:<br />To be enjoyed neat in a tulip glass. Excellent when paired with chocolate desserts or a classic apple and pear cake.<br /><br />Focus:<br />Fermentation is a key process in the production of all Christian Drouin spirits: it all happens naturally with the distillery's indigenous yeasts. The freshly pressed juice<br />reaches the stainless steel vats, where it ferments and rests for at least 5 months, but in some cases up to 1 year. Based on the fermentation time, it is already clear what<br />type of calvados can be obtained. Those obtained from young ciders will be ideal for the distillation of younger, fresh and fruity calvados. The more mature and evolved ciders<br />are distilled from June onwards, but in some cases also in the autumn following the harvest, resulting in very complex and rich distillates, ideal for long ageing, particularly<br />for vintage wines.<br />
