Shaping the taste of exceptional fruit-focused spirits

The Josephine N° 10 elevates the finest Eaux de Vie and unveils the purest essence of other fruit-forward spirits like Tequila and Mezcal.

From visionary design to a handcrafted masterpiece

From selecting the finest, handpicked fruits to mastering the distillation process, Eau de Vie is all about purity and excellence. The same dedication defines the creation of the Josephine N° 10 - Eau de Vie Glass.

Crafted through a meticulous design process involving multiple prototypes, detailed sensory analysis, and collaboration with distillation experts, this glass is a testament to the artistry and heritage behind each premium Eau de Vie. Its refined form captures and elevates the complexity of these handcrafted spirits, bringing the distillers’ vision to life with every sip.

“The Josephine N° 10 glass is designed to enhance the aromatic essence of fully ripe fruits. Its thin-walled, flower-bud inspired shape allows delicate aromas to fully unfold, intensifying their character and delivering a silky mouthfeel while maintaining the spirit's balanced expression.”

Where craft defines taste

Shaping the art of taste

It began with a daring experiment: two radically different glass prototypes, each conceived to revolutionize the experience of aroma. We played with surface area, sculpted the aroma chamber and exploring how minute details could dramatically transform the enjoyment of fine spirits. This was more than glassblowing; it was a sensory odyssey, a testament to the art of taste.

The art of eau de vie

Edelbrand: the purest expression of fruit

Eau de Vie, in German Edelbrand, is more than a spirit; it's the pure essence of sun-ripened European fruits, distilled with the utmost craftsmanship. Originating from Austria, Germany, Switzerland, France, and other Central European countries, Eau de Vie represents a centuries-old tradition celebrated in Europe's Michelin-starred restaurants. Unlike whiskey or cognac, which gain much of their character from aging in wooden barrels, Eau de Vie boasts unmatched clarity and precision, capturing the pure soul of the fruit.

Traditionally enjoyed after a meal, its complex and aromatic profile pairs beautifully with delicate desserts or can be savored on its own.

Excellence achieved through the masterful application of time-honored tradition

The art of crafting Eau de Vie, deeply rooted in Europe's culinary heritage, demands both exceptional skill and profound respect for nature. For generations, master distillers have perfected this process, capturing the essence of fruits at their peak ripeness. Josephine N° 10 honors this legacy, enhancing the sensory experience with its meticulously crafted design and showcasing the spirit's delicate aromas and silky texture.

“Finally a glass that allows Edelbrand to shine with such clarity and elegance – I can’t imagine tasting them any other way.”
