McClintock Spiced Pear Liqueur 750ml
McClintock Distilling is based in downtown Frederick, Maryland, where it operates as the state's first USDA Certified Organic distillery. The company built its reputation on award-winning organic whiskey and gin, guided by a philosophy that places sustainable practices and community above pure output, and it has since expanded into a small range of fruit and spice-driven liqueurs and cordials that draw on the same organic, ingredient-focused approach as its core spirits.
Spiced Pear Liqueur begins with pears that are poached to develop a soft, luscious character before being blended with warming baking spices, including clove, cinnamon, cardamom, and allspice. The result is a liqueur built for cooler months, designed to layer seamlessly into cocktails alongside base spirits like gin, cognac, brandy, rum, bourbon, or rye. It is bottled at 30% alcohol by volume, giving it more backbone than many fruit liqueurs and allowing it to hold its own in mixed drinks rather than simply sweetening them.
The aroma is heady and aromatic, dominated by warm baking spice with pear underneath. On the palate, velvety poached pear takes the lead, rounded out by just enough spice to keep the sweetness in check, finishing warm and lingering.
