Anton Kaapl WILLIAMS Pear 0,5l 47%

Anton Kaapl WILLIAMS Pear is a top-quality varietal pear brandy distilled exclusively from Williams pears, which are considered the most suitable raw material for the production of fine fruit distillates. The mash is made exclusively from this variety, with the pears sourced from Serbia, giving the distillate its characteristic aroma and fullness.

Production:

Production follows the traditional method – alcoholic fermentation followed by multi-stage distillation. The sensitive approach of the master distiller and carefully controlled fermentation allow the fully intense, characteristic tones of Williams pears to be transferred to the resulting brandy. The distillate is then diluted with soft demineralized water from a 102-meter-deep well in the Klikov formation of the Třeboň Basin. No other ingredients are added.

Tasting profile:

The pear brandy has a distinctive taste, with a bold start that gradually transitions into a long, clean, and very elegant finish. The aroma is intense, naturally fruity, and typically "Williams."

Serving recommendation:

DO NOT CHILL OR FREEZE!

The ideal serving temperature is 12–16 °C to fully bring out the varietal aromatics and long, harmonious finish.

His name is now borne by the family distillery, which is a proud continuer of these traditional practices and refers to the rich history and Austro-Hungarian roots of the family.
