Blackberry Eau-de-Vie
Our Blackberry Eau-De-Vie starts with a neutral spirit, we then infuse it with Marion blackberries in order to extract the voliatiles within. We distill this spirit similar to a gin by running it slow and cold through our copper pot still in order to retain the blackberry flavor and aroma. We then proof it down over a period of weeks to avoid saponification and to retain the character of the fruit.
