Joseph Cartron Poire Williams Liqueur (25%)

A Williams pear liqueur from Joseph Cartron, at 25% ABV. It combines the house's Poire Williams eau-de-vie with careful blending, using first-pick table pears together with second-pick pears intended for processing. A light sweetening keeps the freshness of the fruit, so the liqueur suits those who like Poire Williams at a moderate strength, and it works in cocktails. The nose is pure, with stewed pear of good ripeness. The palate is round, velvety and silky, with the sweetness held back and no heaviness.
