Distillerie Mette

About

It all starts with the choice of fruits, flowers and spices. Contrary to common belief, spoiled fruits are not used in the distillery. Distillerie Mette accepts only the best-quality fruits and holds to a high standard in produce. Timing is of utmost importance. Naturally, sweet fruits ferment for around 6 to 8 weeks. Other berries, flowers, and spices are put to maceration in a neutral eau-de-vie made of wine and, therefore, three-dimensional rather than flat. And ageing in stainless steel vats for up to 10 years is paramount. The exotic components are amazing discoveries: Acacia, Asperule (from which the first aspirin was obtained), Medlar, Greengage Plum, etc.
