Production
Although raspberries contain fructose, they are typically made into a spirit because their delicate flavors would quickly be lost in the fermentation tank. When macerated in neutral alcohol, raspberries release their flavors beautifully, resulting in a fine spirit after gentle distillation. After a certain period of maceration, the alcohol is slowly distilled again in a small 130-liter pot still until it is no longer neutral, but instead smells and tastes intensely of the sweet-earthy flavors of the raspberry. 500 kg of raspberries are used in 100 liters of neutral alcohol, meaning that 2.5 kg of raspberries are needed to produce one liter of the noble spirit at 40%. The spirit is filtered through activated charcoal and only water is used to dilute it for bottling. No flavorings or sugars are added, and it is not diluted or blended.
