Rothman & Winter Orchard Pear Liqueur

Rothman & Winter Orchard Pear Liqueur is a standout from Austria, created by the esteemed Destillerie Purkhart, a family-run operation known for producing exceptional eaux-de-vie, schnaps, and liqueurs since 1932. This isn't some fleeting modern concoction; it’s built on generations of distillation expertise. They combine the juice from seasonal Williams Pears, sourced from orchards in South Tirol (Alto Adige) and the Danube Valley, with an eau-de-vie made from the very same fruit. This method results in a liqueur that truly captures the fresh aromatics of pears, offering a less sweet profile compared to many others on the market, making it a versatile component for your home bar.

Rothman & Winter Orchard Pear Liqueur delivers an authentic, fresh Williams pear flavor, not syrupy sweetness, thanks to its eau-de-vie base. This Austrian delight, with subtle spice notes, shines in cocktails with sparkling wine or adds a nuanced layer to spirit-forward drinks featuring tequila or gin.

Imagine fresh, ripe Bartlett pear aromas with a hint of floral blossom. The palate is silky, bursting with sweet pear, balanced by a gentle acidity, leading to a warm, lingering finish of dried pear and a whisper of spice.
