Tasting Notes

Appearance

This distinguished Croatian Šljivovica presents a warm amber colour with brilliant clarity and golden depth, displaying the exceptional quality characteristic of at least 12 months of ageing in large oak barrels — a proud award-winning plum brandy crafted by Badel 1862, one of Croatia’s most celebrated and historic distilleries.

Aroma

The nose is naturally expressive and inviting, with the supple, fruity aroma of ripe Bistrica plums taking centre stage, complemented by subtle notes of vanilla from large oak barrel ageing and a slightly bitter, complex bouquet. The bouquet reflects the extraordinary quality of handpicked Bistrica plums — an autochthonous variety cultivated in traditional Mediterranean orchards for over 300 years — ripened to dark purple perfection in the Mediterranean sun.

Palate

Supple and fruity on the palate, with the natural flavour of ripe Bistrica plums in perfect harmony with subtle vanilla and oak complexity developed during a minimum of 12 months of ageing. The finish is smooth, warm and lingering — a true expression of traditional Croatian Šljivovica craftsmanship. Enjoy chilled in long shot glasses as an aperitif or digestif for any occasion.

Pairs With

This exceptional Croatian plum brandy is a natural companion to charcuterie, aged cheeses, dark chocolate, walnut cake, roasted meats, or enjoyed chilled as a traditional aperitif or digestif, making it ideal for family gatherings, important milestones and the beginning and end of every celebration.
