Description

Eau de Vie (French for “water of life”)

Is made from a fruit mash (other than grape origin) and is a clear spirit that looks like water. Our Williams, Obstler and Himbeergeist are some samples. Not to be mistaken with White Grappas or Bierschnaps / Hopster.

It is a European style of fruit brandy. Similar spiritsare produced in other countries e.g., German Schnaps – where you would get fruit-schnaps which is different to Bierschnaps. You have to make them separate based on the different mash types.
