Elderberry eau-de-vie produced by Hans Reisetbauer in Axberg, Austria
Tasting Notes: A robust elderberry eau-de-vie produced by Hans Reisetbauer in Axberg, Austria, which bridges bright citrus notes with earthy confection. Ripe elderberries are harvested, destemmed, and then fermented in stainless steel for 18 days at precisely 18 °C (64 °F). Distilled twice in a Christian Carl copper pot still and rested for 3 years in stainless steel, it requires 35 kg (over 77 lbs) of elderberries to produce a single liter of this piquant eau-de-vie. The nose introduces a curious medley of fruit and confection—sour cherry, orange, lemon, and cacao—which echoes through the palate with the addition of pink peppercorn, cream, and white pepper over warming chocolate undertones. This exciting expression is sure to subvert expectations and delight the palate. 41.5% ABV
