Production of the Apple Spirit Drink by Proper No. Twelve

For the Apple Spirit Drink from Proper No. Twelve, the fruit takes center stage. The base is a carefully produced spirit from Ireland that provides a clear, stable structure. This spirit is made from grain and is created in a modern distillation process. This ensures purity and a clean aroma profile.

The foundation is initially a neutral but high-quality alcohol derived from selected grains. After fermentation, distillation follows. During this process, the producer consistently separates out undesirable components. What remains is a fine, clear base spirit with a gentle texture and elegant warmth.

In the next step, the apple takes the stage. Selected apple aromas, inspired by juicy, ripe fruit, meet the spirit base. A composition of notes from green apple, yellow apple and a nuance of apple compote is incorporated. The producers pay attention to a balance between fresh fruit and subtle sweetness.

Depending on the maceration time, fruit and base spirit gradually combine into a homogeneous whole. The apple aromas bind to the alcohol structure and merge into a rounded flavor profile. Special recipes control the intensity of the fruit so that the drink appears neither too heavy nor too light.

Colorants are used to achieve the typical golden color. This gives the Apple Spirit Drink from Proper No. Twelve its warm hue, reminiscent of amber and ripe grain. The color evokes associations of apple pie, caramel and golden autumn days.

After flavoring, the sweetness is carefully adjusted. A well-measured sugar content supports the apple aromas without overpowering them. This is followed by reduction to 35 percent alcohol by volume. With pure water, this creates a mild, smooth texture, ideal for enjoying neat and in mixed drinks.

The final step is filtration. This ensures clarity and brilliance in the glass. After filtration, the producer bottles the Apple Spirit Drink in elegantly shaped bottles. Each bottle carries the character of Ireland within it and travels from Dublin into the world of stylish enjoyment.
