G. Miclo Kirsch Tradition Eau de Vie
G. Miclo Kirsch d'Alsace Tradition Eau de Vie is a brilliantly pure and intensely aromatic French cherry brandy crafted in the mountainous heart of the Alsace region. Rather than relying on artificial syrups or added sugars, this exceptional clear spirit is born entirely from the natural fermentation and distillation of fresh cherries. The Miclo family uses only the absolute finest quality local fruit, capturing the very essence of the orchard to produce a wonderfully vibrant and authentic drink that perfectly showcases their expert craftsmanship. To create such a deeply concentrated flavour, the cherries are fermented whole before being carefully passed through traditional copper stills. Because the cherry stones are left perfectly intact during this natural process, the final liquid gains a beautiful layer of complexity. In the glass, it pours completely crystal clear and opens with a highly inviting perfume of freshly picked red cherries and subtle spring blossom. Every sip is incredibly warming and smooth, delivering generous waves of bright fruit backed by a delicate and highly appealing hint of sweet almond on the finish. Because it is incredibly pure and totally unaged, this is a remarkably versatile bottle to keep in your drinks cabinet. It is an absolute classic when served lightly chilled in a small tulip glass to act as a deeply soothing digestif after a rich, hearty dinner. It also makes a fantastic secret ingredient in the kitchen, bringing a brilliant depth of flavour to classic cheese fondues, rich dark chocolate desserts, or a simple bowl of fresh summer fruit.
