Description
It impresses the nose with an intense, finely spiced bouquet with dense aromas of ripe plums, underpinned by a gentle oak note, which allows the plums to fully develop. A powerful and elegant palate, full-bodied with an intense flavour of ripe plums and hints of vanilla and almonds. The finish is mild, fruity, long-lasting and accompanied by a fine spiciness. In any case, you should give the »Vieille Prune« a little time before drinking it. The longer it is allowed to linger in the glass, the more expressively the harmonious composition of the individual aromas unfolds.
A special delight: Tastes great with game dishes. Enjoy the »Vieille Prune« as a digestif. The fruit's aromas develop particularly well in a stemmed liquor glass at a temperature of between 17 and 21 °C.

Fassbind
The history of the distillery goes back well over 150 years. In 1846, Gottfried Fassbind founded the »Alte Urschwyzer Brennerei« at Oberarth (Switzerland). Oberarth is situated at the foot of the world-famous Rigi and the Rossberg, on whose sunny slopes a great variety of fruit trees grow, nurtured by the local fruit growers. Today it is the oldest distillery in Switzerland. As early as 1856, Napoléon III awarded the Fassbind distillery a gold medal at the World Exhibition in Paris. Complete family trees and records show that the Fassbind family has been cultivating cherry trees and producing cherry brandy and kirschwasser from the aromatic fruit since 1395. The secret of the full flavour, natural aroma and purity of Fassbind fruit spirits has been carefully passed down from generation to generation. The people of the Swiss canton of Schwyz are proud to process only locally harvested fruits and berries. The high quality of the spirits is guaranteed by close cooperation with the farmers. The name Fassbind refers to the former profession of the family that immigrated to Switzerland from Holland in 1201 - they were coopers (barrel makers). So it is not surprising that the spirits are stored in wooden barrels. »Les Vielles Barriques«, the old barrels, provide the light golden colour of the spirits and give the brandies their unmistakable mild note.
