St. George Spirits Pear Brandy Alameda, California

750ml bottle

40% abv

"Our flagship spirit since 1982. A stunningly fruit-forward, unsweetened spirit with all the complexity of a perfectly ripe pear."

Incredible purity right out of the gate on the nose here. This was the first product St. George ever made as a distillery back in 1982 and it is still one of the best. The Bartlett pears sourced here are entirely organic and dry farmed for maximum quality and ripeness and about 30 pounds go into making one bottle. The palate is medium-bodied and fruity at first, but the spiciness from the pear marries very well to the mouth-watering acidity. The finish turns floral and hangs on delicately.
