Bošácka Slivovica Barrel

Bošácka Slivovica is produced exclusively from carefully selected, ripe plums (e.g. domestic, Bystrica, Durandža) from the Bošácka dolina region in the White Carpathians.

Fermentation takes place naturally, without added yeast, and after 5 – 6 weeks, two stages of distillation in copper stills follow. The distillate is then mixed with high-quality softened water, left to mature for the appropriate amount of time and bottled in characteristic bottles.

Bošácka Slivovica is clear, slightly golden in colour, with a rich fruity character and a distinct plum aroma, or ‘plum spirit’. The taste is smooth, balanced and slightly almondy, with a natural aftertaste of stones, without any additional flavours or sweeteners.

Its origins date back to the time of Maria Theresa, when Benedictine monks learned to distil in the White Carpathians. From there, the tradition spread, and production in the region has continued for almost 500 years. Slivovica has become a symbol of the bare Bošácka Valley and represents the art of Slovak distillers.

The bottles are filled with an unusual design - they look like barrels. Ideal as a gift for connoisseurs of quality spirits!
