Rusyn Juniper Brandy is a traditional Slovak distillate inspired by the Rusyn cultural area in the Ondava Highlands and the Black Mountains. Production is concentrated in the products of Vanapo and other regional distributors, emphasizing strong ties to natural resources – mainly high-quality demineralized water sourced from the foothill areas.
The production begins with the use of very fine spirit, which is then flavored with natural juniper distillate obtained through fractional distillation of junipers from the Poloniny Mountains, harvested after the first frost – at that time they are the most aromatic.
After flavoring, the distillate is diluted with spring water, resulting in a standard alcohol content of 40 %.
Rusyn Juniper Brandy offers an intense aroma reminiscent of caramel fresh coniferous-pine scent – soft and natural, not chemically artificial. The taste is dry, fresh, and distinctly juniper – its stronger tones are typical for "juniper brandy" and very similar to gin, but with a more pronounced spicy depth.
