TASTING NOTE: Okay, cinnamon isn't in the name of St. George's Spiced Pear Brandy, but this company isn't one to hold focus groups or bury their heads in industry flavor trend reports. Distiller Dave Smith started making the product a few years ago before everyone came out with a named cinnamon spirit, and St. George's is not about to change the name for marketing purposes. Smith knows a mix of red and green pears begs for cinnamon in the finished spirit. The Spiced Pear Brandy is a crowd favorite, with enough spicy cinnamon bite to temper the natural sweetness of a pear brandy. A rich, smooth mouthfeel rounds out the pleasurable sipping of the drink.
