Fruit Distillates Rudolf Jelínek Strana 1 z 2

Fruit distillates, also known as "liquid fruit," are the result of honest distillation of fruit mash. Unlike liqueurs or mixed spirits, they contain alcohol exclusively from fruit – without the addition of sugar, colorants, or aromas. This gives them a pure, natural, and authentic character.

How fruit distillate is made

The base is ripe fruit – plums, pears, apricots, cherries, or sour cherries – which is allowed to ferment naturally. The mash is then distilled, resulting in a strong, aromatic drink with the unique flavor of the respective fruit. The resulting aroma, smoothness, and length of the finish depend on the quality of the fruit, the distillation method, and the aging period.

Different types for different tastes

In our offer, you will find traditional plum brandies, delicate pear brandies, fragrant apricot brandies, as well as lesser-known fruit distillates made from unconventional fruits – from raspberries to rowan berries. Each has its own character, from sweet fruity tones to dry, spicy finishes.

How to enjoy them

Fruit distillates are best enjoyed at room temperature in a small tasting glass. These are drinks meant for slow sipping – to appreciate the purity and aroma that only true fruit can provide.
