Like the soft winter wheat used to make GREY GOOSE vodka, the anjou pear is cultivated in france and is an essential ingredient in classic french pastries and desserts like the tarte aux poires. The GREY GOOSE production process, designed and implemented by Maitre de Chai Francois Thibault, focuses on bringing out the naturally superior characteristics of ripe fruits. A rich medley of fresh pears produces the complex, yet pure flavor of GREY GOOSE La Poire. Nose - Vibrant, fresh fruit scent. the distinctive fruit essence carries a hint of nuttiness that opens up to reveal more aromatic notes such as honeysuckle and wildflower. Palate - Crisp, round and light with the gentle sweetness of fresh juicy pears. when chilled the texture becomes richer giving the spirit a deeper, velvety feel. Finish - Flong and round, with the slightest hint of bitter almond hidden in the lingering finish. 80 Proof Vodka
