Pastis - Clos des Spiritueux - 2018 - Wooden box - 45%
The Maison Ferroni is ideally located in Aubagne in Provence, a region rich in traditions and renowned for its distillation expertise, near Marseille. The headquarters of this exceptional distillery has been established at the Clos des Spiritueux, a place full of history and authenticity. Guillaume Ferroni, a true enthusiast of ancient spirits and aromatic plants, has created a refined range of diverse spirits, subtly combining history, Provençal cultural heritage, and nature's treasures. His diverse offering includes rums, whiskies, liqueurs, as well as unique pastis, made primarily with plants cultivated and harvested wild on the estate, thus guaranteeing incomparable quality and authenticity.
The Pastis du Clos des Spiritueux is made exclusively from fresh plants sourced from the estate's 7 hectares. These precious aromatic plants are enriched by a rigorous selection of Mediterranean plants, cultivated in aromatic gardens specially designed in the heart of the Clos. The harvest, entirely manual and respectful of natural cycles, takes place from April to October, ensuring optimal preservation of aromas. The plants are then macerated separately in demijohns with superfine alcohol to preserve their unique characteristics. After precise blending, the mixture is aged in oak barrels for a full year to develop complex and harmonious notes. The distillate is then carefully racked off, and licorice and anise essence are expertly added before the final reduction to the ideal alcohol degree of 45%, guaranteeing a perfect balance between strength and finesse.
