Tasting Notes

How It's Made

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Fresh, ripe Bartlett pears dominate the aroma. Subtle hints of wildflowers and honeysuckle add complexity. A faint whisper of alcohol is present but not overpowering.

Palate: Intense pear flavor floods the palate, reminiscent of biting into a perfectly ripe, juicy pear. Clean and crisp with a silky texture. Notes of pear skin and a touch of honey emerge as it develops. The high proof is noticeable but well-integrated.

Finish: Long and warming. The pear flavor lingers, gradually fading to reveal subtle spice notes of white pepper and nutmeg. A slight earthiness reminiscent of pear stem adds depth. Leaves a pleasant, fruity sweetness on the tongue.

Clear Creek Pear Brandy is crafted by fermenting and distilling whole Pacific Northwest-grown pears, using a staggering 20 pounds of fruit per bottle, which results in an intensely aromatic and flavorful spirit that truly captures the essence of ripe pears.

Clear Creek suspends whole pears inside bottles of their eau-de-vie, but it's not magic - they actually grow the pears inside the bottles on the tree, carefully removing them when ripe for an stunning presentation.

The distillery uses a rare copper pot still from Germany that's over 100 years old, believed to be one of only four of its kind left in the world, to create their pear brandy's exceptionally pure flavor.

Clear Creek's founder, Steve McCarthy, was inspired to make pear brandy after tasting an exceptional Swiss Poire Williams. He spent years perfecting his recipe, even traveling to Europe to learn traditional distilling techniques before launching the product in 1985.
