Reisetbauer Ginger Eau-de-Vie

Producer notes: “A complex, iridescent mixture of ginger, lemon grass, orange zest and eucalyptus; dry and darkly aromatic on the palate, with lemony, exotic notes, very long and piquant finish.”

‘Top Eau-de-Vie Producers,’ Food & Wine: “Many think fastidious Austrian distiller Hans Reisetbauer makes the world’s best eau-de-vie (at up to $170 a bottle, it’s priced accordingly). Reisetbauer’s enormous portfolio includes classic eaux-de-vie varieties and bottles featuring unlikely flavors like carrot, ginger and the piquant rowanberry. (Jun 2008)”
