Williams is a variety of pears that, thanks to its characteristics, has made this Brandy the queen of fruit spirits. The distillate of fruit, as well as that of marc, requires careful and special care ranging from the selection of the raw material, to the preservation of the product, up to the distillation phase that takes place with the water bath method, in the traditional trentino discontinuous still. The distillation includes the peel and pulp with the aim of keeping intact the aromas and the natural flavor of the pear to arrive at a soft and fruity product.

Emblematic of the Massenez's know-how, the Prisoner Apple is part of the prestigious Signature range. The bottle is simply attached to the pear tree in flower so the fruit develops inside the bottle. When it ripens, the fruit and the bottle are carefully detached. Then the bottles are cleaned and filled with Calvados. Long years of maceration gently blend the flavours of the apple and the spirit.

Nose
Very fruity at first, very fresh fruity notes, quickly followed by the aromas of cooked fruits.
Palate
The union of the fruit added with its Eau-de-Vie gives such aromas. Reminder of the intensity of cider aromas, with smooth, classic apple-brandy flavours. Serve it over ice or neat, chilled, eather after a meal or between courses, as is the custom in Normandy. Also delicious in cocktails or in some recipes based on cooked apples (baked apples, apple tart) or also with Camembert cheese)

Massenez’s Violet Liqueur is quite simply unique ! The distinctive bouquet is also hard to imitate, being both discret and generous. This Liqueur retains the true nature of the violet, a very fragile, rare flower that surprises with its bewitching aromas.
