Hans Reisetbauer Description
Carrot eau-de-vie produced by Hans Reisetbauer in Axberg, Austria
Distilled from 100% organic carrots sourced from biodynamic carrot grower, Christian Schaddler, just 50 km from the Reisetbauer farm
Carrots are harvested in September and October, then chopped and naturally liquefied before being fermented for 8–10 days between 16–17 °C (60–63 °F)
Distilled twice in a Christian Carl copper pot still
Rested for a minimum of 3 years in stainless steel
Aromas of fresh soil, carrot juice, and parsnip prime the palate for a dry, but perceptively sweet expression of raw carrot with notes of papaya and earthy sotol
41.5% ABV
Hans Reisetbauer’s Carrot eau-de-vie is arguably the most intriguing expression of the Reisetbauer range of eaux-de-vie and an instant crowd favorite. It takes 35 kg (over 77 lbs) of carrots to produce a single liter of this unique eau-de-vie.
Wine Enthusiast: 95 Points
Fresh, clean and lightly vegetal—but not outright carroty—this palate-cleanser of an eau de vie will remind some of a delicate aquavit. It would be dynamite in a refined take on a bloody mary with tomato water instead of tomato juice.
