I am just back from a few days of skiing with the family. We went to Saalbach-Hinterglem. Lots of snow, great fun.
Bought myself a Marillen Schnapps from Stroh. And I liked it! Tasty and no head ache.
Still, some thoughts remain ...
Stroh is the famous maker of Stroh Rum. 80% abv / 160 proof. Burns yer gut down, but has a reputation. As a rum. Only, it isn't a rum. It is GNS diluted to 80% and with a rum essence added.

Hope the Marillen Schnapps is for real, but can't help wondering ...

Re: Marillen Schnapps (Apricot Brandy) from Austria
Im surprised they can call it Rum. Actually no Im not, Americans call GNS with flavorings and lots of sugar Schnaps. Ugh! I wonder what the Germans think when they come over and order a schnaps and get a gob smack of syrupy gunk.
In theory there's no difference between theory and practice. But in practice there is.
