To make Rhine Hall’s Plum Brandy, they use Castleton and Stanley plums from farms in Michigan. The fruit is shipped in crates to the distillery at the peak of ripeness. Each crate of approximately 1,000 lbs is hand sorted and separated from the pits for fermentation. Some of the pits are left in the fermentation tanks to add depth and body to the brandy.
The unaged spirit is rested in stainless steel for a minimum of 9 weeks and are filtered before bottling.
Plum Brandy is deeply rooted in Eastern European culture. It is known as Slivovitz, and is generally made from Damson Plums.
