Etter Apricot Royale Luizet Swiss Apricot, 42% ABV 0.7L

The Etter Aprikose Royale Luizet is a clear fruit brandy from Swiss Luizet apricots, bottled at 42% ABV. It focuses on fruit without detours: dry, concentrated, precise.

Behind the brandy is Etter Söhne AG from Zug, a distillery known for its fruit brandies far beyond Central Switzerland. Luizet is considered an aromatic apricot variety that is well-suited for distillation.

On the nose, ripe apricot is the focus, accompanied by a fine pit note that reminds of marzipan and gives the brandy depth. On the palate, it remains dry and clear; the fruit appears dense and carries through to the warm finish. The 42% ABV provides structure without masking the fruit.

Recommendation: neat at room temperature in a tulip glass, as a digestif after a meal, with apricot pastries, or with dark chocolate.
