Join us for an evening of Swiss spirits and sweets as we welcome Edelbrand Pure Distilling to the André’s Tea Room on Tuesday, May 3rd. Lynn and Martin of Edelbrand Pure Distilling and René and Nancy of André's Confiserie Suisse will kick off the evening by celebrating their latest collaboration, the Brandy-Soaked Cherry Bonbons made with Edelbrand's Artisanal Cherry Brandy, a creation inspired by their shared Swiss heritage. Guests will then be led through a tasting of three unique Swiss-inspired spirits from Edelbrand, each carefully paired with Swiss chocolates from André's. Space is limited. Reserve your spot by 4/28. About Edelbrand Pure Distilling: Edelbrand vinars comes from one family’s Swiss heritage and their dedication to producing single-batch spirits crafted completely by hand to bring out the pure essence of each fruit. In Europe, vinars, also known as eau de vie, is a traditional dry, unaged spirit sipped after dinner, when time slows for relaxed conversation. It is equally enjoyable splashed over chilled Prosecco as an aperitif and as beautifully nuanced additions to handcrafted cocktails. Edelbrand Pure Distilling is a family-owned/run, small-batch distillery located an hour west of St. Louis just outside of Marthasville, Missouri. Surrounded by rolling hills and farm-rich land, Schoenweid Farm is home of the DeLean-Weber family. They manage every aspect of the distillery operation and the business, from fruit selection and mash preparation, to applying the label and capstrip on each bottle we will make this year. Small copper pot stills, single-batch runs, handcrafted from start to finish, limited production – these terms define what Edelbrand does, drawing upon the very traditions of their Swiss heritage and the distilling methods still in use in the mountain villages of Switzerland today. The result is an exceptional spirit that holds a hint of Switzerland in each bottle. Small as they may be, they are deeply committed to the artisan nature of what they do. While others may focus on margin and profit levels, their family continues to choose quality over quantity, painstaking steps over commercial efficiency, and limited production spirits over mass-produced alcohol. Edelbrand vinars reflect that commitment and also a promise: Each bottle of the 1,500 they produce this year is crafted by hand to bring out the delicate nature of each fruit’s essence. They hope you will taste that promise of handcrafted excellence in every single sip you take. It is with quiet pride that we invite you to experience Edelbrand vinars tschereschas.
