After extensive research we could not find ANY of the\n \n REAL Edelbrand in Austria, Germany and Switzerland who are brave (or just adventurous) enough to put this precious fluid into oak barrels.\n \n The fact that it takes up to 22lbs of cherries to produce one of these bottles and the unavoidable "Angel share"\n \n almost prohibit any further processing.\n \n ?\n \n Again - we dare to do it different. We cannot even say,\n \n "but with the same result", because NO real comparison exists!\n \n And again - the outcome is phantastic!\n \n The suttle hint of the toasted oak transforms this already most unique splendor into an unforeseen explosion of flavors without loosing it's authenticity but the most pleasant inhancement and ends in a marvellous sipping sensation!\n \n Smoothest Bourbon meets cherry tree!\n \n Again - the best of both worlds!
