Production of Vieux Kirsch d'Alsace by Patrice de Turckheim

The production of Vieux Kirsch d'Alsace is an elaborate process primarily based on regional ingredients. The main ingredient is carefully selected cherries that grow in the Alsace region and are harvested at full ripeness. The fruits are processed gently to preserve their full aromatic profile. In the next step, fermentation occurs, which retains the natural sweetness of the cherries. Subsequently, the spirit is distilled in traditional copper stills. This step ensures a pure aroma and high quality. After distillation, the spirit matures for a certain period in old wooden barrels. This imparts the Vieux Kirsch d'Alsace its distinctive depth and character.
