Etter Quince is a Swiss eau-de-vie distilled exclusively from quince grown in the region surrounding Zug, bottled at 82 proof (41% ABV) in a 375ml bottle.
Since 1870, when Paul Etter founded the distillery in Zug, the Etter family has been synonymous with fine Swiss eau-de-vie, first with kirsch and, since 1981, with a wider range of fruit brandies. Each bottle is distilled from a large quantity of ripe quince and nothing else, leaving it clear and unaged, and the brandy then gently evolves for years in glass demijohns before bottling, revealing uncommon depth.
Rich, vivid and captivating, it captures the honeyed fragrance of ripe quince, with notes of rose, honeydew melon and bright citrus.
The classic Etter bottle makes it an elegant gift for after-dinner sipping.
