Fassbind’s Les Vieilles Barriques Vieil Abricot is an exquisite fruit brandy from the renowned, traditional Swiss distillery Fassbind, which has been synonymous with the finest distilling craftsmanship since 1846. With an alcohol content of 40% vol. and bottled in an elegant 0.7-litre bottle, this apricot brandy forms part of the exclusive ‘Les Vieilles Barriques’ range, which features only the very finest fruit distillates following barrel ageing.

This barrique brandy is produced from the intensely aromatic old apricot variety Royal Luizet, which originates from the Swiss canton of Valais – one of the finest growing regions for stone fruit. The hand-picked fruit is processed when fully ripe and distilled using counter-current distillation to preserve its aroma as much as possible. The fruity distillate is then aged for at least one year in carefully selected oak casks. This ageing process not only gives the Vieil Abricot its golden colour, but also imparts subtle woody and vanilla notes that perfectly complement the fruit’s aroma.

This apricot brandy is particularly prized for its elegant fruit character and the distinctive almond note that emphasises the aroma of the Royal Luizet apricot. Vieil Abricot is a prime example of Swiss distilling craftsmanship, impressing with its balance, depth and exceptional quality – ideal for discerning connoisseurs and lovers of finely matured fruit brandies.
