The Fassbind brand is one of Switzerland’s oldest and most prestigious distilleries. Founded in 1846, Fassbind has built up an excellent reputation for producing high-quality fruit brandies over the generations. With deep roots in tradition and a constant pursuit of perfection, the distillery specialises in creating spirits that capture the very best of Swiss orchards in every bottle. The Linie range is a particularly fine selection that achieves exceptional depth and complexity through ageing in oak barrels.

Fassbind Les Vieilles is made from carefully selected, fully ripe Swiss fruit, harvested by hand. The fruit is distilled using a slow, traditional distillation process to preserve the natural flavours and pure fruit character. After distillation, the spirit is aged for several years in oak casks that have previously been used to store wine or other fine spirits. This maturation gives the spirit its rich, complex aroma and a smooth, harmonious texture. The cask subtly influences the spirit, adding notes of vanilla, caramel and oak that harmonise perfectly with the fruity notes.

Fassbind Les Vieilles has quickly made a name for itself in the world of premium spirits and has received numerous international awards. The combination of traditional craftsmanship, the use of high-quality Swiss fruit and maturation in oak barrels has led to these spirits being appreciated worldwide. Fassbind Les Vieilles’ spirits can be found in the world’s finest bars and restaurants and are regarded as the benchmark for excellent fruit brandies.
