I find unusual spirits interesting, and I want to hear about the ones you have.

Similar to kirchwasser, I’d guess? I love fruit brandies. At various times I’ve drank raspberry, pear, cherry and more common ones like grappa.

I have never tried Kirchwasser, so I don't know myself, but from the description it is peobably similar

I have that as well, I have yet to try that one though, and I also have the pear one on one of my lists in Systembolaget and will order it later.

From what I read here, raspberries don't have enough sugar to be distilled by themselves. I didn't realize it but apparently the himbeergeist is an infusion.

The way I read it, they add water to crushed raspberries and let it ferment, they then distilled that, and later let it "ripen" for 10 years.

They only made 600 bottles, and I bought three of them...
