The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
In this post, I am wrapping up the last two spirits from the last care package from Matthias Sievert and Spiritus Rex. Matthias distils both spirits from rare wild fruits. Which turned out to be the highlight of this years spirits.
So, I realized that I had some Spiritus Rex eau de vies on hand which I did not present so far. The 10th anniversary of my blog coming up gave me the perfect excuse to present them. This article features the most common one of the three wild fruit eau de vies.
