Old School Pear Brandy 0.5l

Stará Škola Hruškovica comes from Château Topoľčianky – a traditional Slovak distillery focused on handcrafted and artisanal production of fruit spirits. The process begins with the careful selection of ripe, juicy sweet pears (especially Williams variety), which are allowed to slightly ferment before distillation, enhancing the complex and pronounced fruity aromas.

After gentle maceration, double distillation in copper pot stills follows. The result is a pure spirit without added color or flavor, with an ABV of 42%.

The Stará Škola brand is committed to the traditional heritage of Slovak fruit distilleries, aiming to preserve the pure essence of the fruits without compromise. The Topoľčianky distillery, located in a region with a rich fruit-growing history, draws from generations of knowledge and local ingredients. Hruškovica is one of their most sought-after spirits – showcasing clear, artisanal quality, purity, and authenticity of the “old school,” while also presenting a modern packaging style in an elegant bottle with a subtle label.

The aroma features clean, intense notes of ripe pears – slightly sweet, delicately musty with hints of honey and white flower. Touches of gentle yeast and light greenness evoke naturalness and authenticity. The taste is smooth, delicate, and full – pronounced pear combines with a hint of nougat, a subtly spicy finish and a gentle freshness of acidity. The finish is medium-long, smooth, and confirms an elegant grounding in natural fruit.
