Eaux de Vie

Literally translated “water of life,” eau de vie is another (and better) name for fruit brandy and a wonderful opportunity for distillers to get creative with ingredients. To make ours, we use various types of apples and pears from the Annapolis Valley. While the fermentation process is the same as for vodka, the distillation is very different – shorter in duration and faster in flow rate, which retains more of the fruit flavour in the final distillate. Some of our eaux de vie spend a few months in small barrels, where they take on vanilla overtones from the Hungarian oak. Others are blended right away to emphasize the light, pure flavours of the original fruit.
