ABOUT THE SPIRIT
From independent, family-owned Distillerie Jos. Nusbaumer in Steige, Alsace, this classic Vieille Prune is distilled from wild blue plums—small, round, green-fleshed fruit prized for intensity. After a long, natural fermentation, the plums are de-stoned and the pulp rests 4–6 weeks to deepen aroma. Double-distilled, reduced with pure Steige spring water, then aged one year in oak, it emerges with a gentle amber hue and signature roundness.
TASTING NOTES
-
Nose: very fruity with a delicate almond (noyau) lift.
-
Palate: soft and rounded, classic ripe-plum character framed by subtle woody spice from cask ageing.
-
Finish: long and mellow for a stone-fruit eau-de-vie, the oak ageing adding length and polish.
HOW TO ENJOY
Serve neat as a digestif (lightly chilled or cellar-cool). Also beautiful over vanilla ice cream, with a dark-chocolate square, or to perfume pâtisserie.
CARE
Store upright, cool and away from light. Best within ~10 years unopened; up to 5 years after opening.
FRIARWOOD SAYS
A textbook Alsace Vieille Prune—silky, aromatic and impeccably balanced. Nusbaumer’s year in oak brings welcome depth while keeping the spirit’s pure plum core front and centre.
