Description
Discover the essence of German craftsmanship with Ferdinand's Saar Quince, an exquisite infused gin that embodies tradition and innovation. Born from the collaboration between the historic Avadis Distillery and the celebrated Zilliken winery, this award-winning liqueur offers a sensory journey through the renowned vineyards of the Saar region.
Carefully handmade, Ferdinand’s Riesling infused Saar Quince is a testament to meticulous production, featuring:
- Hand-picked Riesling grapes from the steep shale slopes of the Saarburger Rausch.
- Over 30 finely balanced botanicals sourced from both the vineyards and local cultivation.
- Highly aromatic quince fruits, known as the "fruit of Aphrodite," celebrated for their historical significance and flavor profile.
The tantalizing tasting notes reveal:
- Delicate rose-like florals intertwined with juicy caramelized quince fruit.
- A palate bursting with vibrant tart quince and jammy stone fruit nuances, concluding with a smooth, slightly acidic finish enriched with subtle spices.
- A nose featuring soothing lavender, fresh lemongrass, and hints of citrus, showcasing a fresh yet complex aromatic experience.
This exceptional liqueur offers unmatched versatility, making it perfect for a variety of serving occasions:
- Cocktails: Craft an invigorating "Apple Fizz" by shaking with sugar syrup, lemon juice, and apple cider.
- Wine Pairing: Elevate your palate by mixing with dry white wine (or Grüner Veltliner), sugar syrup, and lemon juice for a refreshing spritzer.
- Tonic: Enjoy with tonic water for a classic and refreshing gin and tonic experience.
- Dark Chocolate and Desserts: Serve as a delightful digestif alongside rich dark chocolate or light, dry desserts.
- Mature Cheeses: Complement the complexity by pairing with aged cheeses as a sophisticated post-meal drink.
For optimal enjoyment, store Ferdinand's Saar Quince in a cool, dark place between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F) to preserve its enchanting aroma and flavor.
Embrace the journey through this liquid tapestry, where each sip encapsulates the harmonious blend of sweet, sour, and bitter notes, inviting you to explore the rich heritage of its origins.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of a gin liqueur maintain a consistent temperature ideally between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F). This temperature range helps preserve both flavor and aroma by preventing expansion and contraction that can compromise the bottle's seal. Avoid temperature fluctuations and keep the bottle away from heat sources.
Light exposure should be minimized. Store the bottle in a dark place such as a closed cabinet or at least away from direct sunlight and strong artificial lighting. If the bottle is transparent these precautions protect the aromatic components and prevent color degradation.
Regarding bottle sealing ensure the bottle is tightly sealed after each use to prevent oxidation. For opened bottles consider using inert gas sprays (e.g. argon) that displace oxygen which helps prevent flavor loss.
Store the bottle upright to minimize contact between the liqueur and the cork reducing the chance of cork degradation and contamination.
Maintain a moderate humidity level between 50% and 70%. This range helps keep corks from drying out and maintains good sealing integrity. Avoid extremely dry or excessively humid environments such as unventilated basements or near dehumidifiers.
For opened bottles the same conditions apply but extra care should be taken to reseal them promptly and limit air exposure to preserve quality over time. Unlike wine gin liqueur is relatively hardy but still benefits from these practices.
No special refrigeration is needed unless specified for cream-based liqueurs; standard gin liqueur fare should be stored at room temperature with the above considerations.
