St. George Pear Brandy is a clean, elegant, fruit-driven eau-de-vie made from Bartlett pears that captures the purity, perfume, and texture of ripe pear without added sugar. At 40% ABV, it delivers bold pear aromatics, a dry palate, and nuanced spice, making it excellent neat or a standout in cocktails.

Origins & Craftsmanship

• Made by St. George Spirits, a craft distillery in California.

• Produced from organic Bartlett pears, whole fruit, using about 30 pounds of fruit per 750 ml bottle.

• Distilled in copper pot stills to preserve aromatic fruit character.

• Unaged / no barrel influence; it’s an eau-de-vie style (i.e. fruit brandy), with no added sugar or flavoringjust the pears.

Tasting Profile

Sense Notes Appearance Crystal clear; no coloring or aging. Nose / Aroma Very fruit-forward: ripe Bartlett pear, baked pear, honey; floral hints (lavender), a touch of citrus peel; gentle earthy or mineral edge. Palate / Taste Dry but expressive; juicy pear flesh; crisp, with hints of spice (white pepper or mild baking spice); pear skin, fresh acidity; maybe a light herbal or green note. Finish Clean, lingering with pear, stone fruit warmth, a little minerality; refreshing and not overly sweet.

Strengths & How It Stands Out

• Very expressive pear aroma: strong fruit character up front makes it stand apart from more neutral eau-de-vies.

• Dry palette: no sweetness added, which gives more versatility for consumers who dislike sugary spirits.

• Clean finish: good balance of fruit, light spice, and freshnessmakes it pleasant neat or in lighter mixed drinks.

• Quality craftsmanship: use of whole fruit, organic fruit, careful distillation; real attention to fruit integrity.

Suggested Cocktail & Use Ideas

• Pear Martini: swap in St. George Pear Brandy in place of or mixed with a lighter gin or vodka; garnish with a pear slice.

• Fruit-Driven Cocktail: mix with lemon juice and a touch of honey syrup for a brandy sour style.

• Highball / Sparkling Option: a splash in a hard cider or sparkling water highball gives pear flavor without overwhelming.

• Digestif: neat, slightly chilled, after dinner to savour the pear perfume.
