Eau de vie Vieux Kirsch

Fassbind is a renowned Swiss distillery, located in Oberarth, celebrated for its fruit brandies crafted under strict artisanal standards. 

The Vieux Kirsch is a cherry brandy made from fully ripe Swiss cherries harvested in the Mont Rigi region, famous for the quality of its cherries. After fermentation, the cherries — including their stones — are distilled, allowing the spirit to acquire the characteristic almond note typical of high‑quality kirsch.  

Appearance: clear, crystal‑clean, colorless — the typical clarity of a refined brandy.

Nose: pronounced aromas of dark cherries, ripe morellos, delicate notes of almond or cherry stone. 

Palate: clean and crisp attack, pronounced cherry fruit, elegant body, long finish with a balanced blend of fruitiness and subtle bitter‑almond notes. 

Food & Serving Pairings: best served as a chilled digestif; excellent for desserts (Black Forest cake, cherry pastries), pâtisserie, or to flavor chocolate fondue or fruit preserves — the pure, fruity character of kirsch matches beautifully with cherries and red fruits. 

Serving Temperature: cool or slightly below room temperature — typically served chilled or gently warmed by the hands.
