Pastis - Château des Creissauds - 2019 - Brut de Foudre - Edition Open Spirits 2021 - 61.7%
Maison Ferroni is located in Aubagne en Provence, near Marseille. The headquarters of the distillery are based at the Château des Creissauds. Guillaume Ferroni, passionate about ancient alcohols and aromatic plants, has developed a varied range of spirits, combining history, cultural heritage and natural resources. He markets rums, whiskies, liqueurs, pastis etc. of which many of the necessary plants are grown and harvested on the estate.
The Pastis from Château des Creissauds is made from fresh plants from the 7 hectares of the estate. These aromatic plants are complemented by Mediterranean plants grown in the aromatic gardens of the Château. After a manual harvest that takes place from April to October, the plants are macerated in Dame-Jeanne in superfine alcohol. Each plant is macerated separately before being assembled together and then placed in oak casks for a year. The distillate is then drawn off, then the liquorice and anise essence are added before reduction to the final degree.
This edition is bottled without reduction, at cask strength.
