Streuli's Kirsch Fruchtbrand

Steuli's Private Distillery is situated in a picturesque rural area near Lake Zurich, offering a serene environment. Surprisingly, despite its peaceful location, the distillery is conveniently accessible through various highways, allowing for easy distribution of their fruit spirits and liqueurs throughout Switzerland. The Steuli family has been residing in Rietwies since 1869 and in 1894 obtained the old distillery vessel, which continues to be used to this day. Currently led by the fifth generation, the distillery acquires raw materials from approximately 200 trees to produce their spirits. Additionally, a modern distillery vessel, installed in 2011, has significantly improved the quality of the schnapps produced. Crafted in small quantities of fewer than 100 bottles, the cherry brandy is made from four traditional table cherry varieties. Each bottle contains around 4kg of fruit. Its flavor evokes notes of dark red stone fruits, with subtle hints of marzipan, chocolate, and cinnamon. Unfortunately, the download link for the PDF factsheet has been removed.
