Products & tasting notes
Representative of the styles this house makes; specific bottlings and vintages vary.
Apricot eau-de-vie
WasserIntense ripe apricot — honeyed and floral — lifted by a delicate stone-fruit kernel note. Aromatic and long.
About Apricot →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 →Pear eau-de-vie
WasserRipe, floral Williams pear — juicy and perfumed — with a clean, faintly peppery finish.
About Pear →Apple eau-de-vie
WasserBaked apple and orchard fruit over a warming, spirituous core; vanilla, dried fruit and oak spice emerge with age.
About Apple →Plum eau-de-vie
WasserDeep dark-plum and stone fruit, earthy and full; oak, spice and dried-fruit richness when barrel-aged.
About Plum →Berries & Wild Fruit Geist
GeistWild 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.
