Nusbaumer

In the heart of the Val de Villé, the Jos. Nusbaumer Distillery succeeds in the pure tradition of the country, with a whole range of prestigious eaux de vie and local liqueurs. With its continental climate, warm summers and harsh winters, the Val de Villé produces fruit of a quality particularly suited to the making of eaux de vie.

The distiller's art does not exclude the use of modern equipment. Although well-ordered equipment and clean, uncluttered surroundings have had a positive effect on the practical side, techniques handed down the generations have been held on to jealously. They start with the harvest and the methodical selection of the fruit and scrupulous cleanliness in the glass tanks in which the fermentation takes place. This metamorphosis demands extreme care, if it is to be successful, and it is only several months later that distillation takes place and turns the fruit a quintessentially fine, fragrant eau de vie which will still need several months, sometimes years, of ageing before it can be bottled and sold.
