Products & tasting notes
Representative of the styles this house makes; specific bottlings and vintages vary.
Cherry eau-de-vie
WasserClear and bone-dry, with bright cherry fruit and the signature whisper of almond and marzipan from the stones.
About Cherry →Plum eau-de-vie
WasserDeep dark-plum and stone fruit, earthy and full; oak, spice and dried-fruit richness when barrel-aged.
About Plum →Pear eau-de-vie
WasserRipe, floral Williams pear — juicy and perfumed — with a clean, faintly peppery finish.
About Pear →Raspberry Geist
GeistVivid 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 →Quince eau-de-vie
WasserExtravagantly perfumed: quince, honey, rose and orchard blossom, with a long, floral, faintly waxy finish.
