Terroir: Willisau, in the heart of Switzerland, is located in an area characterized by rolling hills and lush orchards. The temperate climate, with warm summers and cool nights, allows for slow and complete ripening of the cherries, favoring the concentration of sugars and aromas. The fertile soil and the centuries-old tradition of fruit distillation give the Kirsch a unique, clean, and crystalline aromatic profile.

Production: The cherries are hand-picked at the right stage of ripeness and left to ferment naturally with the pits. This is followed by slow and careful distillation in copper stills, according to the traditional Swiss method. The distillate is then aged in stainless steel for several months to allow the aromas to blend harmoniously. It is not subjected to wood aging in order to maintain the purity and freshness of the fruit intact.
