Tasting Notes

The nose of Etter Kirsch AOP Zug Eau de Vie is redolent of ripe cherries, laying a fruity foundation for a wonderfully complex sensory journey. On tasting, it unfolds with a sleek mouthfeel that is both wonderfully fresh yet intensely fruit-driven. But it’s the aftertaste where Etter Kirsch truly shines. Expect a lingering, warming taste that mixes the gentle tartness of cherries with the soft sweetness of almond, a byproduct of the Zug cherry’s small, aromatic pips.

Suggested Serves

• Etter Kirsch Sour: The tart cherry flavor perfectly balances with sweetness from the simple syrup and sourness from fresh lemon juice.
• Brandy Crusta: Swap in Etter Kirsch for traditional brandy and let its distinctive cherry flavor transform this classic cocktail.
• Blue Blazer: The rich, warming notes of Etter Kirsch take this drink to new levels, pairing perfectly with the warmth of fresh lemon and honey.

Production Notes

The production of Etter Kirsch AOP Zug Eau de Vie unfolds over several painstaking stages. The cherries, handpicked in orchards around Zug, Switzerland, undergo fermentation before distillation. This takes place in traditional copper alembics, which imparts a depth to the final product that modern machinery simply can’t replicate. The spirit is then aged in 50-litre demijohns, which allows it to develop its full aromatic potential before bottling. The whole process adheres to the strict regulations of AOP Zug, resulting in an eau de vie that celebrates the combination of technical mastery and regional character.
