Capreolus 1000 Trees Apple Eau De Vie (375ml)

1,000 Apples Eau de Vie
Just eleven miles from the distillery, it is hard to overstate the rarity and importance of the orchard from which Capreolus sources their apples. Growing over 1,000 varieties of apples, this genetic treasure trove provides them with the raw material for their annual apple field blend eau de vie.
Capreolus is among the few who have had the chance to experience the myriad spectrum that can exist in such a humble fruit. Many of the varietal names are strange and archaic, however they are no novelty. Held within the genes of these beautiful fruit is diversity, security for future breeding, adaptation to changing environments, and a living tapestry that paints the history of the landscape.
A very floral nose of freshly crushed apple, sweetness, hints of peel, spice, and nectarine. The slew of apple varieties brings incredible complexity to the textured palate with rich wood spice, beautiful perfume, juice filled apples, expressive of skin, flesh and core.
 
Capreolus Distillery
Barney Wilczak is on a mission to make the finest eaux-de-vie on earth, with zero compromises. It's safe to say that this is a mission accomplished – Capreolus Distillery produces spirits of astonishingly high quality that reflect the painstaking processes behind each bottle. Wilczak preserves his local English landscape through exclusively wild fermentation, meticulous distillation, and thoughtful sourcing of fruit.
Eschewing shortcuts to prioritize quality as the sole focus, the various eaux-de-vie from Capreolus require up to 100 pounds of fruit to produce a single liter of spirit. Every piece of fruit is picked at peak ripeness then graded and cleaned by hand before fermentation and distillation. Capreolus works with a plethora of local fruit including mulberry, apple, comice pear, damson plum, quince, blackcurrant, gooseberry, and more.
