Description
Schladerer Williams-Birne is a clear, unaged pear eau-de-vie from the Alfred Schladerer distillery in Germany’s Black Forest, distilled exclusively from Williams (Bartlett) pears.
Alfred Schladerer has distilled fruit brandies in Staufen, in the southwestern Black Forest, for over 160 years. Ripe Williams pears are fermented cool to preserve their delicate aromatics, then distilled in traditional copper pot stills and bottled clear — with no wood aging, added sugar, or flavoring. The result is a pure, dry expression of fresh pear.
