Miclo Kirsch d'Alsace Tradition Eau de Vie\u003c\/b\u003e is a brilliantly pure and intensely aromatic \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"95\"\u003eFrench cherry brandy\u003c\/b\u003e 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.

Crafted by the highly respected Miclo family, this exceptional clear spirit is dedicated entirely to showcasing the world famous \u003cstrong\u003eWilliams pear\u003c\/strong\u003e. Because their local mountainous climate is not ideal for this specific fruit, Miclo sources their incredibly high quality pears directly from the sun drenched orchards of the Rhône Valley. This uncompromised natural approach allows them to perfectly capture the genuine, vibrant essence of the fruit in every single bottle. To achieve such a stunning depth of flavour, an astonishing twenty eight kilograms of ripe pears go into producing just a single bottle. They are naturally fermented before being slowly passed through traditional copper stills, a highly skilled technique that preserves the delicate aromatics of the fruit while ensuring the final liquid remains perfectly crystal clear. Taking a sip is truly like biting into a freshly picked, perfectly ripe pear. The nose opens with a gorgeous perfume of sweet orchard fruit and delicate blossom, leading into a wonderfully smooth, warming palate that finishes with a clean and incredibly satisfying freshness. Because it offers such an authentic and vibrant fruit profile, this is a spectacular bottle to keep ready in your drinks cabinet. It is traditionally served lightly chilled in a small glass as an elegant and soothing after dinner digestif. It also works absolute wonders in the kitchen, adding a brilliant burst of flavour when splashed over a bowl of vanilla ice cream, baked into a classic fruit tart, or used to elevate a rich dark chocolate dessert.
