The fruit mash ferments with the addition of water and a special flavor-neutral yeast culture. During this process, the fruit sugar is converted into alcohol by the yeast.#DESTILLATIONThe alcoholic mash is distilled under vacuum. In this complex process, the vacuum in the still lowers the boiling point of the mash and distillation can take place at temperatures of around 40 degrees Celsius. Less heat means that the fruit aroma is preserved as well as possible.#REFINEMENTThe apricot brandy obtained is refined in a multi-stage maturing process. The first step is pre-storage in steel tanks, after which the distillate is placed in large clay pots. The clay breathes, some of the alcohol rises as angelshare and the aroma condenses in the remaining distillate. Finally, the apricot brandy matures in 50 liter wooden barrels. At the end of the maturation period of around eight months, the distillate is macerated with dried fruit. The result is a deep, fruity aroma and a mild finish without the afterburn on the palate that is otherwise typical of a brandy. Maceration with dried fruit is not traditionally used in the production of a brandy, which is why SissiS Marille aus dem Holzfass bears the legal product designation of fruit spirit.
