Eau-de-Vie Questions
What is fruit eau-de-vie?
Fruit eau-de-vie is a clear spirit distilled from fermented fruit. Unlike a liqueur, it is not defined by added sugar or flavoring, so the fruit’s aroma and character take the lead.
How is eau-de-vie different from brandy?
Both can be made from fruit, but the names describe different traditions and styles. Eau-de-vie is commonly clear and unaged, while many brandies are aged in wood. The exact process can vary by spirit.
How should I serve fruit eau-de-vie?
Try a small pour in a tulip-shaped glass, served neat at a comfortable room temperature. Take time to smell it before tasting. A little water may soften the spirit and bring out different aromas.
Can I visit the Bath distillery?
Visiting arrangements can vary. Contact Bath Orchard Spirits to ask whether tours, tastings, or other visits are available, and to check any practical details before making plans.
How can I learn which fruit is used?
Check the details provided for each eau-de-vie or ask Bath Orchard Spirits directly. The fruit used shapes the spirit’s aroma and flavor, and the distillery can explain what is available.
