DISTILLERY NOTES

Classic Willliams (Bartlett) pear brandy is the epitome of what eau-de-vie is about. Clean, aromatic, and distinct, Pear Williams captures the essence of the fruit from which it came. The finest tree-ripened Williams (Bartlett) pears from local orchards are hand-picked, carefully fermented and distilled using a German copper pot still and centuries-old traditional methods.

BC SPIRITS NOTES

Shocked that this one hasn't been on the show before, I love my aromatic fruit brandies and Maple Leaf Spirits make some of the best in the province. This pear brandy transports you to a pear orchard in spring time, a complex mix of pear leaves, bark, blossoms and finally the fruit. Tannic skin, sweet fruit with a hint of green making this a gorgeous aromatic brandy.
