Hochstrasser Alter Zwetschken Brand 40% 0,35l

Alter Zwetschkenbrand from Hochstrasser shows just how refined a barrel aged plum spirit from Styria can be. Selected farmhouse plums deliver an intense, spicy fruit that unfolds in the glass with hints of dark chocolate and a delicate almond like kernel note. Extended ageing in wooden casks polishes the texture and adds gentle sweetness with touches of vanilla and caramel. On the palate the spirit is warm, concentrated and harmonious while still clearly defined by juicy fruit. The finish lingers with subtle toast, a whiff of smoke and persistent stone fruit spice. A characterful digestif and a fine match for chocolate desserts or strong cheeses.
