Distillerie Morand – “Williamine” Pear Liqueur

This high quality ‘Eau-de-Vie’ with apricots from the Canton of Valais, has a typical fruity note in the nose a rich, complex taste, and is well balanced. 12 kg of the best regional Luizet apricots are used for producing 1 liter of Apricotine.

Apricot Luizet – An inimitable flavor. A traditional apricot from the Canton of Valais, Luizet offers incomparable aromatic qualities for the manufacture of this liqueur. The use of this variety and the exclusive Valais origin are conditions of the AOP. The Distillery operates its own Luizet apricot orchards on the slopes of the town of Saxon. When ripe, the apricots are sorted by hand, crushed and then fermented before being distilled.

Thanks to its intense and fruity flavor, the Abricotine is ideally enjoyed as a digestif, at room temperature or chilled. Together with tonic or apricot juice it makes a perfect long-drink. Also ideal for desserts on an apricot sorbet, on a scoop of vanilla ice cream or to highlight a chocolate topping. Excellent also as an ingredient for various cocktails.

Distillerie Morand was established in 1889 in Martigny in the Canton of Valais and produces liquors of the highest quality. From the beginnings there has always been a focus on regionally produced fruits to be used to make the liqueurs. The fruits cellared at the distillery are those offered on the markets. The fruits of the ‘eaux-de-vie’ are fresh and ripe, and are hand-picked on arrival at the distillery. Only fruits of highest quality are processed.
