This tiny-batch eau de vie began as 1000 lbs. of sun ripened, freestone apricots from Central New York. The were de-stoned by hand, crushed, and slowly fermented over 3 weeks with a small % of stones used to add a nutty, almond, pit character.
We did a single distillation in the  Mueller hybrid pot still, collecting only the very, very best Coeur (hearts) to rest and bottle so as to capture the essence.
The liquid then rested in stainless still in our chai for 12 months before going through slow, methodical reduction process, landing at an ABV that best expresses the true nature of the spirit and fruit. 
Finally, it was bottled and further rested in glass for a few more weeks, going through another period to harmonize and marry the spirit.
