Eaux de Vie

We tend to define eau de vie as the spirit of Alsace, a water clear distillation from the fruits of the region. It is however also the term we use for the water clear spirit obtained directly after distillation of the wine or fruit. It is of course extremely strong and that produced in cognac is around 70% abv and some from other regions can be even stronger. Those available at Brandyclassics are mainly the wine or fruit distillates or the liqueur eaux de vie which incorporates macerated fruits to provide a sweet liqueur flavour at a much lower strength.
