The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
When the Josephinenhütte No. 10 eau de vie glass was released, it sold out within 72 hours. So, I was even happier when a little package showed up at my doorstep. Kurt Joseph Zalto designed the glass for high-quality eau de vies and this is what I tried from it.
Some time ago, I ran out of my regular bottle of Mirabelle eau de vie. So, similar to the recent apricot eau de vie tasting, I did a blind tasting of eight Mirabelle eau de vies. Join in to read about the quite different results.
