Full Description
The Czech Republic is not only the land of beer. There are other alcoholic beverages with centuries-long tradition: fruit brandies, especially those made with plums.
Slivovitz is an exquisite alcoholic beverage which has been produced mainly in Central and Eastern Europe for centuries. It is typical for both Moravia and Bohemia. It is made from plums and has between 40 and 55 percent alcohol. The tradition of fruit spirits reaches as far back as 1585. The company itself arose at the end of the 19th century, in 1894. RUDOLF JELINEK’s products are well known all over the Czech Republic as well as in the world.
The Slivovitz Museum “Distillery Land” in Prague opened to the public in 2019.
