Etter Williams Pear Eau-de-Vie 1.5L

Etter Williams is the Zug family distillery's classic pear eau-de-vie, here in a 1.5-litre magnum. Etter sources small Williams pears from the right bank of the Rhône in the Wallis, buying from the same growers for many years and paying extra for fully ripened, “yellow quality” fruit. Around 23.6 kg of pears go into each 150cl bottle. The fruit travels to Zug daily, ferments for eight to ten weeks, and after distillation the heart of the spirit matures for six to twelve months in stainless steel so the aromas can knit together. Crystal clear, with a gentle, rich and refreshing pear bouquet, a balanced, fully aromatic palate and a long, fruity finish. DistiSuisse gold medal winner. Bottled at 42% ABV.
