Symbolic of the Massenez brand, the Prisoner Pear is fascinating due to both its quality of taste and scent, and its pear-shaped bottle, encasing the pear inside.
The bottle is simply placed onto the pear tree when it is flowering… Then the fruit grows inside the bottle until it is ripe, when the fruit and the bottle are delicately picked from the tree.
The Massenez Williams Pear Eau-de-Vie won the only gold medal at the World Spirits Competition in Canada, in 2011 & 2012!
