Wild ash - serviceberry

Wild ash - serviceberry

Wild serviceberries, also known as Ruhrbirne or in Germany as Schweizer Birnbaum or Schöne Else, have a delicious flavour. They are elegantly sweet, slightly astringent with a fruity almond flavour. This pleasure is also precious, as it takes approx. 100 kg of mash for 8 - max. 12 bottles of distillate. Unfortunately, the rose plant (Sorbus torminalis) is rarely found here, but has certain future prospects as it is resistant to heat and drought.
