Made from apples and pears sourced from small local orchards that still use traditional high-stem trees, this is a spirit that carries the character of its landscape in every sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDistilled in a copper still and bottled at 40% ABV, Kracht is powerful and robust yet beautifully balanced — a digestif to savour by the fireplace with a good book. The 2022 vintage was awarded a Bronze medal at the IWSC (International Wine \u0026amp; Spirits Competition), and previous vintages (2022 and 2023) sold out entirely.
