Pastis - Clos des Spiritueux - Vintage 2021 - Wooden box - 45%
The Maison Ferroni is proudly established in Aubagne in Provence, near Marseille, in the heart of a region renowned for its rich terroir and artisanal expertise. The distillery's headquarters is located at Clos des Spiritueux, an exceptional estate where ancient traditions and innovation meet. Guillaume Ferroni, passionate about rare spirits and Mediterranean aromatic plants, has developed a complete and refined range of authentic spirits. This prestigious collection notably includes agricultural rums, exceptional whiskies, flavorful liqueurs, and the famous pastis, all carefully crafted. The majority of the aromatic plants needed to create these precious elixirs are cultivated and harvested wild within the estate, thus ensuring optimal quality and full respect for the natural environment.
The Pastis from Clos des Spiritueux is made from fresh plants carefully selected from the estate's 7 hectares, a true haven of Mediterranean biodiversity. These exceptional aromatic plants are harmoniously complemented by Mediterranean plants cultivated in the Clos's botanical gardens, where they benefit from an ideal climate and mineral-rich soil. The harvest, entirely manual, takes place from April to October to preserve the integrity and freshness of the essences. Each plant is meticulously macerated separately in demijohns in a high-purity superfine alcohol. After this phase, the macerates are precisely blended before being aged for one year in oak casks, allowing the pastis to develop complexity and aromatic depth. Finally, the distillate is drawn off, then natural licorice and high-quality anise essence are added, before reduction to the final alcohol degree of 45%, guaranteeing a perfect balance between strength and finesse for a unique sensory experience.
