Yes, carrots. This dry Austrian eau de vie might be the most intriguing bottle Hans Reisetbauer makes. Hans planted his first orchard in Axberg in 1990 with the modest goal of making the best eau de vie in the world. Once his Williams pear took off, he started distilling almost anything he could get, from apples to carrots, chasing the purest version of each. The carrots are organic and come from biodynamic grower Christian Schaddler, about 50 km from the Reisetbauer farm. They're harvested in September and October, broken down with natural enzymes and fermented in stainless steel. From there the mash is double-distilled in a Christian Carl copper pot still, with the heads and tails cut away generously. The spirit then rests at least three years in steel before spring water brings it down to bottling strength. Of the more than 20 eaux de vie in the range, this is the one that wins people over the fastest, and the 375ml bottle is an easy way to try it.

More about Hans Reisetbauer

Hans Reisetbauer planted his first orchard in 1990 on his family's farm in Axberg, Austria, with one big ambition: to make world-class fruit spirits. His first still followed in 1994, and today the certified organic farm has around 17,000 Williams pear trees and 7,000 apple trees feeding a remarkable range of eaux-de-vie. He later turned estate-grown organic grain into Blue Gin, Axberg Vodka and single malt whisky. In 2019 the distillery was rebuilt as an energy self-sufficient facility with precision-controlled stills.

Flatiron's Take

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Serve it chilled in a small glass after dinner, or with Moroccan-spiced roasted carrots and labneh, carrot-ginger soup, roasted parsnips with dukkah, aged Alpine cheeses like Gruyère or Bergkäse, or smoked trout on rye.

Tasting Profile

Expect a clear, steel-rested eau de vie that smells unmistakably of its source: fresh carrot, carrot juice and damp earth, with a hint of parsnip. The palate is fully dry yet seems ripe, with crisp freshness, a gently bitter, earthy edge and a long, clean finish. Think of the purity of a fine pear eau de vie, in vegetable form.
