Peachtree is produced by macerating sun-ripened peaches and peach botanicals in neutral spirit, then blending with natural sweeteners — a process refined over generations to preserve authentic fruit character. The brand uses no corn syrup and no artificial flavors, a distinction that separates it from many competing flavored spirits on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh peach skin hits first, followed by a wave of confectioner's peach and ripe stone fruit.
