Pastis - Clos des Spiritueux - XO - 6 years old - Vintage 2015 - 45%
The Maison Ferroni is located in Aubagne in Provence, near Marseille, renowned for its ancestral expertise in spirits. The distillery's headquarters is at Clos des Spiritueux, an exceptional estate dedicated to the art of artisanal distillation. Guillaume Ferroni, a passionate expert in ancient spirits and aromatic plants, has developed a rich and varied range of spirits, subtly combining history, Provençal tradition, and local biodiversity. He markets rums, whiskies, liqueurs, pastis, and many others, with the majority of the plants used being cultivated and harvested wild on the estate, thus guaranteeing authenticity and superior quality.
The Pastis du Clos des Spiritueux is made exclusively from fresh plants carefully selected from the estate's 7 hectares. These aromatic plants are enriched by a diversity of Mediterranean plants rigorously cultivated in the aromatic gardens of the Clos. The harvest is done manually and spans from April to October to preserve all the freshness and richness of the aromas. Each plant is then macerated separately in demijohns filled with superfine alcohol before a harmonious blending. The mixture is aged for one year in oak barrels, thus enhancing the depth of flavors. After racking, licorice and anise essence are delicately added before reducing the alcohol content to achieve perfect balance.
This exclusive edition of Pastis Clos des Spiritueux comes from the 2015 vintage and benefits from an exceptional aging of 6 years in Tokaj wine barrels, giving the product a unique aromatic complexity and an unparalleled smoothness on the palate. A high-end pastis, reflecting the Provençal terroir and the distilling expertise of Maison Ferroni, ideal for lovers of rare and refined spirits.
