Story

The Exception range is the pinnacle of Nusbaumer's artisanal know-how. This Eau-de-Vie is crafted from big "prune-quetsche". These fruits are red-purplish with yellow flesh, very sweet and juicy, coming from the sunny hills of Sundgau farms.  

After 4 weeks of natural fermentation, the seeds are removed and the fruits distilled in traditional small copper stills. This eau-de-vie is then aged in stainless steel casks for 20 years in order to obtain this unique roundness and intensity. At the end of this long ageing process, the alcohol content is reduced to 45% using water from their own mountain spring water. This spring water, running through purple shale rock, is characterized by its extreme purity which gives it its singular strength.

Very aromatic and intense, with hints of almond from the pit.

Taste
Gentle and powerful at the same time, its intensity coming from the 20 years of maturation. Bright notes of Prune with more subtle notes of almond.
