For the master distiller Rabanser distilling plums always represents a new challenge to continue improving the their art and aspire to perfection and balance a concept which is also expressed in the motif on the label: a rhinoceros balancing a ball.
Plum distillate old. For the plum distillate from the Zu Plun distillery use is made exclusively of typical plums of South Tyrol farms,
which are grown directly by Plunhof at about 1100m altitude. The plums that grow in this climate characterised by strong
temperature oscillations are small and compact, with a more concentrated aroma than common fruits. It is this aroma that is
expected to reveal itself to the full in the plum brandy, which is why the ripe fruits are cautiously stoned before further processing.
The fruit thus handpicked and prepared is carefully mashed. After natural fermentation without additives the pulp is distilled
twice. For the Plum Old the distillate is stored for two years exclusively in an oak barrel, where it finally combines with the
typical notes of cinnamon, caramel and vanilla.
