Hiebl Williams — Pear Brandy 40 % vol, 35 cl
No brandy exposes a distiller as quickly as a Williams.
The Williams (Bartlett) is the most aromatic pear there is — and precisely for that reason the hardest to distil. Its aromas want to be preserved, not boiled away. Georg Hiebl has mastered it. His Williams shows why the variety is considered the queen of pear brandies.
Full fruit, nothing masked
Distilled single-variety, without blending. What comes out of the bottle is pure Williams — lush, unmistakable, aromatic to the last drop.
Aroma & taste
Instantly recognisable on the nose: ripe Williams pear, opulent, with the variety's typical spicy-floral note. Juicy and full on the palate, the fruit carrying long, with a clean, lingering finish. A pear brandy the way it should be — the one others are measured against.
Awarded
At Craft Spirits Berlin 2026, Europe's most important competition for craft spirits, Hiebl's Williams was awarded Gold.
How to enjoy it
Neat at around 16–18 °C in a rounded brandy glass. Don't serve it ice-cold — chill robs the Williams of its finest aroma. A classic digestif that wins over newcomers straight away.

Destillerie Hiebl — Mostviertel, Austria
Some people distil fruit. Georg Hiebl captures character.
His aim is simple to state and hard to achieve: preserve the character of a fruit in its original form and concentrate it in the glass — until aroma, colour and taste become one. Nothing added from the outside, no shortcuts. Only the best raw fruit, carefully handled.
Single-variety by conviction
The range holds over 100 different fruit brandies and liqueurs. Hiebl specialises in single-variety distillation — especially of apples and pears — so each variety keeps its own character instead of disappearing into a blend.
Craft Distillery of the Year 2026
At Craft Spirits Berlin 2026, Europe's most important competition for craft spirits, Hiebl prevailed against 120 distilleries from 17 nations to take the overall title: Craft Distillery of the Year 2026. From 47 entries came four "Best in Class" golds, plus 19 further gold, 20 silver and 8 bronze medals — on top of several earlier "Distiller of the Year" honours.
