Oude Quetsche Tilquin à l'Ancienne (véritable d'Alsace): Difference between revisions

Oude Quetsche Tilquin à L'Ancienne is a lambic blended with a variety of plums. The plums are added in high concentration to 1-year old lambic for a period of 4 months (with the exception of the first test batch that aged for almost 6 months on fruit). The resulting fruit lambic is blended with additional 2- and 3-year old lambic to create a final fruit concentration of at least 250g/l. Oude Quetsche Tilquin à L'Ancienne is 6.4% alcohol by volume.

Oude Quetsche Tilquin à L'Ancienne was first released in February of 2012. It comes with a best-by date in dd/mm/yyyy format as well as a neck label with the vintage season. The first round of bottles were released with a 2011-2012 neck label and subsequent batches have followed a similar pattern.  The best-by date on the reverse label is 10 years beyond the bottling date.  For example, the first batch, had a best by date on 23/02/2022 and a neck label of 2011-2012.  This would mean that it was bottled on February 23, 2012. Oude Quetsche Tilquin à L'Ancienne is released annually in 375ml and 750ml bottles
