Eau de vie is a French term for a colorless fruit brandy that is prepared via fermentation and double-distillation. A typical scenario would involve growing the appropriate fruit, harvesting when ripe, and fermenting the whole, crushed fruit prior to distillation. Unlike their cognac cousins, eaux de vie are not typically aged in wooden casks, hence they remain clear. Instead, the young, ripe fruits or berries are fermented, distilled, and bottled rapidly to preserve the freshness and aroma of the parent fruit. While this is the general process for creating eaux de vie, some variants exist and some distillers choose to age their products before bottling. The term eau de vie is also informally used for similar beverages hailing from non-French speaking countries
