Very fine two-year old Mistelle
Exquisite things are happening in the rolling hills of North Somerset where Sam & Beccy Leach have been working with mature, majestic 115 year old pear trees. Like this perry pear Mistelle, a combination of fresh pressed juice and perry eau de vie, old casks and time!
With pears such as Holmer, Hellens Green, Pint & Blakeney Red, Wilding had enough to make a 1,000 litre tank of perry which was distilled to make a single cask of Pyrus,along with 150 or so litres of pear juice from Barland orchard in 2022 which was of extraordinarily high quality. A Rye Whisky cask was selected and the mixture spent 26 months maturing.
Deeply complex and delicious. Layers of aroma and flavour: caramel, golden raisins, baked pear, baked plums, custard, brandy, mace, cinnamon, anise. All of the aroma is well supported by the luscious sweetness and the bright, mouthwatering acid. Alc. 24.8% vol.
