We also had the chance to try the infamous Mirabelle for the first time. It's a local liquor made from a certain type of plum that is not sold in stores - just made by a few people who have a license and consume it for their own use. Phillipe mentionned that his grandfather had a license to distill spirits for one day only for the year - he was basically grandfathered in from a German law. So the local area had one still that they would have on wheels and move from one house to the other.
