Šoškić šljivovica is a spirit that too often suffered from poor reputation due to poor production. This premium interpretation is designed to restore the dignity of plum rakija and show the full richness this fruit can offer when handled with care.
Years of testing and learning led to a refined approach that includes a precise selection and ratio of plum varieties, slow and controlled fermentation, and double distillation in a traditional still. The result is an aromatic spirit with a gentle yet bold bouquet – expressive, structured and clean.
Ageing in oak barrels shapes both character and elegance. It develops a distinctive colour without added dyes and adds balance, smoothness and layered complexity that will satisfy even the most demanding palate.
Šljivovica can be enjoyed in two refined serving styles: chilled in a cold glass as an aperitif, or slightly warm as a digestif, where the aromatics unfold more deeply.
For those who value craftsmanship, maturity and authenticity, this premium šljivovica delivers a memorable experience grounded in tradition and elevated by careful ageing.
