Branchwater Farms Bartlett Pear Brandy 2023Branchwater Pear Brandy embodies the experience of eating a perfectly ripe pear. Made from 100% Bartlett pears grown in the Hudson Valley, we hand sort and clean them for quality, then ferment in small batches at different stages of ripeness to capture the essence of the whole fruit. After distillation, the pear is held in stainless steel for a minimum of three months before it is cut with water from our family well, bringing it from 83% to 41% before
