Production of Back Apple and Pear Fruit Brandy

Behind the Apple and Pear Fruit Brandy - Back lies a traditional distilling craft founded on quality and care. The base consists of carefully selected apples and pears from German orchards. Only fully ripe fruit is used for processing. This creates a clear, varietal aroma profile.

The fruit first undergoes a thorough inspection. Damaged or inferior fruit is removed from the batch. Washing and crushing follow. The apples and pears are transferred to the mash, where the flesh, skins and juice combine into an aromatic mass.

Fermentation begins during this stage. Natural or added cultured yeasts convert the fruit sugar into alcohol. The temperature is closely controlled so that the delicate fruit aromas are preserved. Fermentation only ends once the desired alcohol formation has been achieved and the mash displays an intense aroma.

Distillation follows. The fermented mash is transferred to the still. There, the valuable alcohol is separated from unwanted components. The distiller carefully monitors the exact course of the distillation process. The heads and tails are removed from the batch. Only the pure heart cut flows into the fruit brandy that follows.

Distillation usually takes place in a traditional copper still. Copper binds unwanted substances and promotes a pure distillate. Precise control of temperature and time allows the characteristic apple and pear aromas to unfold. The distiller determines by sensory evaluation when the heart cut begins and when it ends.

After distillation, the distillate rests. This resting phase allows the brandy to harmonize. The aromas combine and the alcohol becomes rounder. During this time, the balance develops that makes the later fruit brandy appear so smooth and clear. Before bottling, it is adjusted to 38% alcohol by volume, usually with high-quality filtered water.

Finally, the fruit brandy is bottled. The 1-liter bottle provides enough for sociable evenings as well as creative uses at the home bar. Each bottle carries the production steps from the orchard to the distillate. This creates a fruit brandy that embodies genuine craftsmanship.

Serving Recommendations for Back Apple and Pear Fruit Brandy

The fruit brandy reveals its full potential at the right drinking temperature. Lightly chilled to around 12 to 16 degrees, it displays clear fruit and pleasant spice. A tulip-shaped nosing glass or a fine schnapps glass directs the aroma precisely toward the nose. This creates the ideal introduction to the rich fruit world of apple and pear.

Served neat after a substantial meal, the fruit brandy makes a crowning finale. The apple and pear aromas harmonize particularly well with hearty cuisine, savory roasts or robust cheese platters. This fruit brandy also pairs excellently with apple strudel, pear tart or cakes containing nuts.

Those seeking creative drinks can serve the fruit brandy in aromatic cocktails. One example is a fruity fruit brandy sour. Add ice cubes to a shaker, then add 5 cl fruit brandy, 3 cl lemon juice and 2 cl sugar syrup. Shake vigorously, then pour into a chilled tumbler filled with fresh ice cubes. An apple or pear wedge as a garnish completes the impression perfectly.

A lively fruit brandy tonic also showcases the fruit beautifully. Fill a highball glass with ice. Pour in 4 cl fruit brandy, top up with well-chilled tonic water and stir briefly. A thin slice of apple and a strip of lemon peel add a fresh fragrance and visual appeal to the drink.

For the colder months, a hot apple and pear punch with fruit brandy is recommended. Gently warm a mixture of apple and pear juice, add a little cinnamon stick and a slice of lemon, and allow it to infuse briefly. Then remove the spices and add around 2 to 3 cl of fruit brandy per cup. Do not boil further so that the aromas remain at the forefront. Serve in heat-resistant glasses, decorate with a cinnamon stick and enjoy slowly.

Whether as a digestif, in a fruity long drink or in a winter punch, Back Apple and Pear Fruit Brandy brings refined enjoyment to many occasions. This fruit brandy accompanies friends of fine distillates through all seasons and many special moments.
