Tasting Notes
"Drinkers who've been subjected to slivovitz in its rougher forms may approach Clear Creek's Blue Plum Brandy with trepidation, but there's nothing to fear in this bottle. With notes of bright fruit on the nose, and flavors of ripe plum balanced with the heat of an unaged distillate, it's a nicely rounded eau de vie. Those who enjoy pure fruit spirits untouched by oak will be happy to have this one on hand."
