Production signature
Pure, whole Pacific Northwest pears are worked with old-world fruit-brandy techniques, then the spirit is bottled clear and unaged to preserve the fruit’s intensity. Clear Creek says one 700 ml bottle requires about 20 pounds of pears.
Style in the glass
The flagship Pear Brandy is bone-dry and vividly pear-led, emphasizing fresh orchard aroma and a clean eau-de-vie profile without oak influence.
