Obstler is a traditional German fruit brandy, typically made from a variety of fruits such as apples, pears, and plums. It is often produced in small batches and is known for its clear, strong flavor. The distillation process usually involves fermenting the fruit before distilling it to create a high-proof spirit. This spirit is commonly enjoyed as a digestif, served after meals to aid digestion. Obstler can be sipped neat or used in cocktails, and it is particularly popular in southern Germany and Austria. Its fruity aroma and smooth finish make it a favorite among fruit brandy enthusiasts.
