The Kerassunder hazelnuts collected by hand are from north-east Turkey at the Black Sea. These fine aromatic hazelnuts are freed from their hard shell in old stone mills, sorted, packed and delivered to the distillery. There they are grated gently with the flavour load bearing skin, roasted after a special formula and set with the help of 96 per cent neutral alcohol. This way the intensive flavours are bound in a 20-day setting time.
After the maceration it is slowly and gently distilled by master hand in handworked and small copper stills. Only the high quality middle run with approx. 70% vol. which contains particularly many flavours reaches storage.
The heart matures for 12 months in rare breathable earthenware barrels to develop the perfect nut flavour.
With freshly lively spring water of the "Bannholzquelle" the aromatic distillate is put back on drinking strength of 42% and filtered.
