Story

This Eau-de-Vie is crafted from wild cherries. This elegant red tree grows naturally in wilderness and produces small black cherries, usually less sweet than traditional cherries, and with a firm and thick skin.  

After 5 weeks of natural fermentation, the seeds are removed and the fruits distilled in traditional small copper stills. Unlike the Exception range, this Eau-de-Vie is aged in oak casks for 17 years, which gives it a longer and powerful lingering finish.

At the end of this long ageing process, the alcohol content is reduced to 45% using water from their own mountain spring water. This spring water, running through purple shale rock, is characterized by its extreme purity which gives it its singular strength.
