Borovicka — the Czech juniper spirit — is a centuries-long Vizovice tradition, inseparable from the history of the distillation industry in Vizovice and from the personalities Karel Singer and Zikmund Jelínek. Its traditional production process, based on pot distillation, is still used in its original form today; the only technologies modernized are those that further enhance the clarity and delicacy of the juniper liquor while allowing it to retain its characteristic character. The name Slovácká borovicka refers to Moravian Slovakia — a name that arose from the success of Rudolf Jelínek's exports to the United States, where Slovakian borovicka had been popular in the 1930s and the Moravian original needed a distinguishing name. From the Rudolf Jelínek house of Vizovice, Czech Republic, at a robust 45% ABV.
How to Use: Chilled neat in the Central European tradition, or as the juniper base for classic cocktails.
ABV: 45% (90 Proof)
