PR Pear and Brandy Liqueur Essence 20 ml

PR Pear and Brandy Liqueur Essence 20 ml

The pear is the most underrated aristocrat in the fruit bowl. When it is perfectly ripe – so juicy that it drips, scented with flowers and honey – few fruits can hold a candle to it. The trouble is that the moment lasts roughly one afternoon. Pear and Brandy solves the problem by catching the pear at its very best and laying it to rest in soft, vanilla-scented brandy.

The result is a liqueur that feels both luxurious and light-hearted. It is fruity enough to serve as the shot of the party, elegant enough to offer as a digestif, and the pear flavour is so clean that it works beautifully in drinks with sparkling wine, ginger or citrus.

Colour & Appearance

The liqueur turns a pale gold with a warm, straw-yellow tone – like the skin of a ripe pear. It is clear and bright, with a liqueur’s typical soft weight when you swirl the glass.

Nose

The nose is pear from the first second: juicy flesh, floral notes and the slightly green, fresh nuance of pear skin. Behind the fruit come vanilla sugar, a hint of cinnamon and the round, grapey warmth of the brandy. It smells like a pear compote simmering gently on the hob.

Palate

The palate follows the nose with impressive precision. First the sweet, juicy pear – ripe and almost honey-smooth – then a fresher note of skin and core that gives structure and keeps the liqueur from being one-dimensional. Vanilla and light caramel fill out the middle, and the brandy comes in towards the end with mild warmth and a little toasted oak. The sweetness is generous, but the natural freshness of the fruit holds the balance, and the mouthfeel is soft as velvet.

Finish

The finish is medium in length and clean. Pear and vanilla linger, and the warmth of the brandy sits like a calm echo in the background together with a suggestion of cinnamon.

How to Use

The essence is mixed with vodka or neutral spirit and sugar. 20 ml makes 750 ml of finished liqueur. Instructions are on the label.

Serving Suggestions

• As a chilled shot – simple, fruity and always welcome.
• Over ice with a thin slice of fresh pear.
• In the bottom of a glass of dry sparkling wine.
• With ginger ale, lime and plenty of ice as a long drink.
• With the cheeseboard – especially good with blue cheese and walnuts.

About the Essence

Do try a splash in a pear tart, over poached pears or in a chocolate sauce – pear and chocolate are a classic couple. The essence comes in 20 ml, 280 ml, 1000 ml and 25 litres.
