A Chicago Distillery's Tropical Line, Made in Mexico
Rhine Hall is a Chicago fruit-brandy distillery on W. Fulton Street known for traditional European-style eau de vie. In 2022 the team found international partners to produce its exotic tropical line closer to where the fruit grows, and in 2023 the Mango Eau de Vie relaunched that line: the mango meat is extracted from skin and pit, fermented, and distilled in cooperation with Mexican partners in a stainless-steel alembic still also used for mezcal production. Distributor tags on this listing point to Craft Spirits Cooperative, the California importer Rhine Hall partnered with to share the tropical line nationally.

The brand's official notes: ripe mango, peach, apricot and pineapple on the nose; mango skin, apple, melon rind and starfruit on the palate. Pure mango essence — bright, juicy and unadorned.
How to Enjoy
Rhine Hall's own cocktail suggestions: Margarita, Daiquiri and Mojito — the mango character shines in citrus-driven drinks. Sip it neat first to taste the fruit before it goes into the shaker.
