De Profundis
Have you ever gone through the attic, opened a box and found some amazing forgotten
treasure? That happens here sometimes. Ten years ago, Jörg put sixty gallons
of pear eau de vie from his first batch (nearly twenty years ago) into a
French
oak barrel. There it rested, in the cool depths of the distillery until we
stumbled across it once again. De Profundis is a testimonial to the staying
power of
Jörg's Poire William. After ten years in oak, it retains its true core identity
of lush, sweet pear. The aging has layered on wonderful soft notes of vanilla
and cinnamon. It's like wallowing in a pear tart without all the mess. De Profundis
is limited to 300 bottles. Once it's gone, it's gone forever.
Jörg and Lance often seem like they’re on a mission to discover something
that they can’t successfully distill. St. George Spirits is the site of
a lot of experimentation—small batches of spirits that get squirreled
away in barrels and tanks.
This means that rummaging around in the back of the distillery has
lead to some very happy discoveries. When we find something really terrific,
we bottle it and offer it as part of our Reserve Collection.
