J Pear Liqueur (CA shipping only)

J Pear Liqueur is a twice-distilled pear eau de vie that is infused with de-ionized water (rain water) and liquid sugar to produce a liqueur. Technically, a liqueur is a brandy that has sugar and flavorings added to the distillate.

In 1995, Bartlett pear juice was fermented dry in stainless steel tanks. The juice was then double distilled in unique copper Alambic stills, yielding a pear brandy (eau de vie) of approximately 50% alcohol. The pear eau de vie was aged for 10 years in 90-gallon Limousin oak barrels. To make the liqueur, distilled water and liquid sugar were added to bring the alcohol level down to 30% (60 proof). The sugar broadens the palate and takes away the heat,  bringing forth a pear essence. The liqueur was then cold stabilized and aged for an additional six months before bottling.

J Pear Liqueur shows wonderful bright pear essence, butterscotch, chamomile, and vanilla aromas, followed by hints of apple pie and cinnamon notes revealing aged cognac-like character. Predominate flavors of baked pears, honeysuckle, butterscotch and honey lead to a lingering finish of Barlett pears.

Due to the alcohol content, this product can only be shipped within California.
