We take 750ml bottles to Boates Farm in the Annapolis Valley in the spring which we then hang on the trees, over a small pear on a branch, tie in place, and allow to grow through the season. In September we harvest the now fully grown pears, clean the bottles and fill with Pear Eau de Vie - our own pear spirit made from select ripe pears, Bartlett, Anjou & Clara Frijs, which are fermented at the peak of ripeness & then distilled. We like it as an accompaniment to fresh strawberries - a bite of berry and a small sip of pear - heaven!
The summer of 2024 was a lot calmer than the previous year: no droughts, no fires, no floods. But the repercussions of that dreadful season echo in this year's growing season which was less than perfect for the surviving orchards.
The Pears of 2024 that grew in our bottles were fewer in number and smaller in size, but they still grew and we think that continues to count for a lot.
The 2024 release of Pear In Bottle is now ready for purchase at the distillery.
