An exceptional Alsatian eau-de-vie made with mirabelles from Lorraine and Alsace

Distillerie Nusbaumer, artisanal expertise since 1947

Founded in 1947 by Jos Nusbaumer in Steige in the Alsatian Vosges, the Nusbaumer distillery upholds outstanding artisanal expertise. This independent family-owned company, headed since 2018 by Nicolas Lombard, was awarded the prestigious Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant label in 2019. Equipped with four 5,000-liter Holstein stills, it has mastered the simultaneous distillation of three different raw materials since 2021. Specializing in fruit eaux-de-vie, liqueurs, and botanical spirits, Nusbaumer uses pure water from the Climont schist springs to craft exceptional products.

Mirabelle d’Exception, the flagship of the Nusbaumer range

Mirabelle d’Exception represents the very best of Distillerie Nusbaumer’s expertise. This eau-de-vie is obtained by macerating mirabelles from Lorraine or Alsace for three weeks in a high-proof mirabelle eau-de-vie. The process continues with double distillation, which makes this eau-de-vie powerful and rounded. Reduction to 45% ABV is achieved using exceptionally pure spring water from Steige, naturally filtered through Vosges schist, with cold filtration to perfect the process. This exceptional eau-de-vie is presented in an amber bottle that protects it from light, adorned with a medallion of richly colored wax, applied by hand in the distillery’s workshops.
