What an amazing poire from Devine, I believe it is extinct for now with a few ounces kicking around on back bars in the city. Rich and balanced, the pear eau de vie sits on local figs in the aging process which gives it an amazing backbone and depth but still lets the pear sing with rich fresh fruit from skin to stewed pear danish.
Alcohol - 40% / 80 proof
Color - Medium yellow with golden edges
Nose - Stewed pears in pastry, very subtle hints of figs
Taste - The pear is sliding scale of fresh, skin on pear, rich flesh and deep stewed fruit characteristics, the figs add a base note that is not obvious but very stated
Finish - Fresh pear rules on the finish with hints of the figs and stewed fruit, but overall clean pear
Best Enjoyed - If you can find it, neat.
