The clear fruit brandies of Europe, known in France as eau de vie, or water of life, are bone-dry spirits distilled from regional fruit, traditionally left unaged to keep the fruit's intensity. Clear Creek uses only pure, whole Pacific Northwest fruit: Bartlett pears from the Hood River Valley are crushed at their peak of ripeness, the whole-fruit mash is carefully fermented, and the spirit is distilled in German-made copper pot stills. It takes 20 pounds of pears to make a single bottle. It earned a Double Gold medal at the 2013 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pear nose is intense, the taste is strong but pure, and the aftertaste is clean, with a surprisingly strong taste of fresh pear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe elegant pear label makes it a refined gift for after-dinner drinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEau de vie is traditionally served chilled in a small tulip glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA few sips after dinner cleanse the palate and aid digestion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTry a splash in sparkling wine for an elegant pear spritz.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt adds lift to fruit desserts and poached pears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the bottle in the freezer door for a silky pour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intense ripe pear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strong but pure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean, with lingering pear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear Creek, Oregon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pear eau de vie, unaged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Whole Bartlett pears from the Hood River Valley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStills:\u003c\/strong\u003e German-made copper pot stills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 proof (40% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oregon, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it slightly chilled in a small glass as a digestif at the end of a meal or between courses.
