Edenico Prickly Pear Eau De Vie Mexicaine

700ml. #2 This has a wonderful nose of lifted tropical notes and floral with cool pear and a light spice. The palate has a brightness of tropical fruits (obviously prickly pear) and a bright citrus balanced by cool mint and mineral notes. D&M Tasting Notes

The prickly pear is known in Mexico as tuna (ahem – be careful not to confuse it with the fish) and is, in fact, the fruit of the paddle cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica). Savory and juicy pink bulbs blossom at the tips of the cactus leaves; the fruit is popularly used in everything from salad to ice cream. Bright and boldly aromatic, Edenico’s prickly pear unquestionably stands out amongst the most unique eau-de-vie in the world. Arnaud Fressonnet marries the distilling traditions of his native France with the lush terroir of Cuicatlán, Oaxaca, to produce a stunning range of eaux-de-vie distilled by fifth-generation maestro destilador Rommel Krassel.
