From cherry to fine brandy Only exquisite and ripe cherries are used for fermentation - a total of 8 kilograms of fruit are required for one single litre of Kirsch. Particularly worth mentioning: Edelbrand cherries are grown on selected farms and trees and are gently distilled in our rock cellar. We take our time when distilling. As one of the few distilleries world-wide, Dettling only distils cherries in its distilling plants, preventing the transfer of unwanted flavours. And only the valuable centre cut - the heart of the distillate -- is taken for the brandy.
