"Badische slivovitz"
Assuming it IS a Badische speciality, and not REAL slivovitz...
I think everyone knows that slivovitz is plum brandy, so this should be quite acceptable.

: off the marc. it's really too far west for slivovitz. Badische isn't terribly English sounding either .

Colin Rowe
: "aged", to me, sounds like exactly the right term. I like "cask", too. I think I prefer "plum brandy" to "plum schnap(p)s", however - as a translation, I mean! ;-)

Danke Cetaea. Schnaps wird (im Gegensatz zu Wein) nicht allzulange in Holzfässern gelagert. Erstfüllung in neue Fässer: max. 3-4 Monate, bei der 2. Füllung ca. 1 Jahr. Deshalb spricht man wohl nicht von *gealtert im Holzfach, sondern *gereift im Holzfass.
