Eau-de-vie (24)

Eau de vie is a French term for a colourless brandy distilled from fermented fruit juice. The term is informally used for like beverages from non-French speaking countries. It is distilled from young fruit and rarely aged in wooden casks, thus preserving the freshness and aroma of the fruit. Typical spirits in this category are kirschwasser, a cherry-based beverage or framboise, which is made from raspberries. When the eau de vie is made from the pomace, the result is called Pomace brandy or in France Marc (wine), sometime eau de vie de marc.
