I've learnt that Dutch is more similar to Swedish than I first thought. I could understand most of all the streetnames I came across in Eindhoven .

I'm not good at brandy brands (heh) but I guess you can just call an apple schnaps äppelsnaps (äpple + snaps = äppelsnaps) and a pear schnaps päronsnaps.
When are you coming to Sweden? Or are you here as of this moment? - your location says Sweden/Finland.
