Etter Suisse Williams Pear | 375ML

Detailed Description

Since 1870, the Etter family has been synonymous with fine Swiss eau-de-vie. In this bottle is distilled more than 10 pounds of fresh Williams pears from the right bank of the Rhône in the Canton of Valais. The brandy then gently evolves for years in glass demijohns before bottling. Pear brandy is famously enjoyed sipped neat after dinner, or as aperitif mixed with club soda. Add lime juice, sugar and club soda for a Pear Rickey highball.

Etter Suisse Williams Pear | 375ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Smells like the skin and flesh of a ripe pear, right after you cut it open.

Palate: Pear essence with a rush of finely distilled alcohol on the backside. Unlike the Schladerer and some other Poire Williams we have reviewed, this one has not been aged in wood and so has a cleaner “just fruit” taste.

Finish: Nips at the edges of you tongue as you finish it. A wonderful warming and long lingering finish.
