Etter Quince Eau-de-Vie 375ml

Etter Quince Eau-de-Vie is a clear fruit brandy from Distillerie Etter, a family-run Swiss distillery in Zug renowned for eau-de-vie made from whole, ripe fruit rather than added flavoring. Quince (Quitte in the local German) is distilled and bottled unaged and unsweetened, in the traditional Swiss style that aims to capture the fruit's aromatic character as purely as possible rather than masking it with oak or sugar. Expect a fragrant, floral-tinged spirit with the quince's distinctive honeyed, slightly tart fruit character coming through clean and intense, since nothing dilutes or covers it. It's a spirit for drinkers who appreciate traditional European fruit brandy in its purest, most transparent form.

How to drink Etter Quince Eau-de-Vie

Serve it well chilled in a small tulip glass, the traditional way to drink eau-de-vie, either as a digestif after a meal or as a palate cleanser between courses. Skip the ice — chilling the bottle beforehand keeps the aromatics intact in a way that ice cubes melting into the glass would dilute.
