Made with parcels of individual fruits from growers to create a unique range of single varietal, high-quality eau de vie. The fruit had been destined for supermarkets and farmers markets but was declined due to being too big, too small or, in one bizarre case, too pink, so the distillers purchased the fruit, giving the farmers reason to employ someone to pick it, saving it from being wasted. It was then preserved indefinitely by transforming it into eau de vie. This is an un-aged fruit brandy created to capture the aroma and flavour of apricot in a pure, concentrated form. It takes 30 to 50Kg of fruit to make one bottle of spirit which is naturally fermented then distilled twice on our small hybrid pot and column still.
