Description
Portland, Oregon based Clear Creek Distillery sources Williams (also known as Bartlett) pears for this brandy from the nearby Hood River Valley. Whole pears are crushed and fermented, then distilled in pot stills. According to the distillery, it takes approximately twenty pounds of pears to produce one 700ml bottle. The spirit is bottled without barrel ageing.
The clear fruit brandies of France also known as eau de vie, which translates to “water of life”. Most European countries have a local term for the clear, bone-dry brandies distilled from the regional fruit. Usually bottled at around 80 proof, these spirits are typically served at the end of a meal, or between courses, as the perfect digestif. These fruit brandies are traditionally un-aged to maintain the wonderful intensity of the fruit. The heart of Clear Creek’s product line is our fruit brandies, which are all made according to old world techniques traditionally used in Europe. We use only pure, whole Pacific Northwest grown fruit. Our flagship Pear Brandy takes 20 lbs of pears to make one 750 ml bottle.
