Artisan Series Brandies

Created in VERY small batches, our Artisan Series Brandies strive to capture the essence of the fruit.

These fruit Brandies are not sweet! Bottled at 80 proof, they are commonly enjoyed before or after a meal.

Bottled in 375ml bottles with labels painted by distiller Doug MacKenzie's mother, artist Claire MacKenzie.

Artisan Series Brandy

 

Grappa

Grappa is a brandy made from pomace (the solid remains of the wine making process).

Our Grappa is made from a pomace consisting of Marechal Foch and Millot grapes grown in Wisconsin.

Grappa is typically enjoyed after a meal. A common way it is drunk in Italy is in espresso. This is known as a "caffe corretto" or corrected coffee.

Kirschwasser

Kirschwasser

Kirschwasser is distilled from Cherries. Our's is distilled from a cherry wine produced by Wisconsin's von Stiehl Winery using Door County grown Montmorency and Balaton varietals.

Drunk neat, and often served before a meal. Although some cocktails (Singapore Sling, Rose) use Kirschwasser as an ingredient. Also commonly used in fondue!

Pear Brandy Eau-de-Vie

Eau de vie is French for "water of life". Our Pear Brandy tastes like you just cut a pear. It has a great aroma and terrific flavor of fresh Bartlett pear.

Try it chilled after a meal. It makes a great dessert!
