POIRE WILLIAMS Pear in bottle, Alsace, France |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
G. E. MASSENEZ |
Clear and colourless. Delightful, gently sweetish, honeyed, intense, ripe pear puree nose. Dry, medium bodied, intense, slightly spicy, delicious, ripe pear puree flavours with a lingering, fairly high acid finish. This has 40% alcohol with lot number L1011804 and comes in a 750 ml bottle (but not with 750 ml of the treasured elixir). In fact, you are paying full tax and mark up for the pear which contains only a minimal amount of Poire Williams! |

TASTING NOTE: Juicy and mouthwatering, with lots of bold fruit on the palate plus a subtle flick of vanilla, this Williams pear brandy would make a lovely dessert accompaniment or after-dinner sip. Gift-worthy presentation includes a pear-shaped bottle with a whole pear imprisoned inside. Included in the Wine Enthusiast Top 100 Spirits 2015. Score - 98 (Kara Newman, Wine Enthusiast, Oct. 2015) |
