Schnapps Pleasure From Sweet And Sour Cherries
Bright red, juicy-sweet with fine-sour notes: this is how the fruits have to be so that we can process them in the Prinz Distillery into an incomparable delicacy – the Old Cherry.
Hand-sorted Fruits
Cherries are among the most popular of all fruits. They have always been associated with a certain sensuality. And it doesn't just start with the fruit. Even the white-pink blossoms in spring are a real feast for the eyes and exude a fine, sweet fragrance. From about June to July, the light to dark red fruits ripen. From our fruit growers, we purchase only hand-sorted sweet and sour cherries from the best sunny locations.
Freshly Processed
Since cherries quickly lose their freshness compared to other types of fruit, we process them immediately at the fruit farm in Leiblachtal. Pitted, de-stemmed and mashed, the fruit-intensive cherry distillate is finally produced in a gentle fine distillation process, which matures for several years in fine-pored stoneware vessels.
Barrel-aged Cherry Schnapps
Fruity Schnapps Speciality
In order for our special schnapps to be created, it is stored in a Prinz wooden barrel. The cherry distillate has several months to mature and develop. We then refine it with dried fruit, which gives it its pleasant fruit sweetness.
The fine wood barrel note perfectly complements the fruit's own taste. The nose is dominated by a lovely, pleasantly sweet scent. On the palate, the full, typical taste of ripe cherries unfolds and lasts for a long time. In the finish, the schnapps – like all our barrel-aged specialities – is characterised by its incomparable mildness. This makes the Old Cherry a premium pleasure. If you have the opportunity, also try the barrel-aged Old Apricot– simply irresistible.
Our drinking recommendation: Enjoy the Old Cherry as a digestif in a stemmed schnapps glass at a temperature between 17 and 21 °C.
