A delicate, mildly carrot Eau de Vie from Axberg, Austria. It has a clean, almost Tequila-like, birth with notes of herbs & roasted walnut; while a complex life adds notes of glazed carrot, hops & creamy hazelnut; that led to a long & dry death with a wet earthy note. March / June 2018

About this bottle
Although carrots are technically a vegetable and not a fruit, this eau-de-vie maintains the spirit of unaged fruit brandies. A neighboring farmer had a problem selling misshapen carrots at the market so he sold them to Hans Reisetbauer who made lemonade out of lemons, so to speak. As carrots have less sugar than fruit, it takes 90 pounds of carrots to produce one liter of alcohol.
