Stone Fruit (General)

The general stone fruit note captures a soft, nectar-sweet quality shared across peaches, apricots, nectarines, and plums — a sun-warmed, pit-fruit character that reads as generically luscious without pointing to a single variety. It appears in cocktails using blended fruit liqueurs, macerated fruit mixtures, or spirits where barrel aging has coaxed out a rounded, fruity sweetness. This is the flavor of a fruit bowl in late summer.
