Rakija made of 100% Apricots
Very appreciated aromatic rakija. Beginners love it as well
as those with years of experience. Harmonic and drinkable,
it caresses the palate and evokes a sense of hedonism.
Sought after with the tavern music and favored among women.
Rakija No. 17
This rakija came out of spite.
Apricots from Radovan's orchard have differences in nounces compared with
2015 (see Rakija No. 4). The sun is a bit harsher, the grass in the orchard
is unmowed, the yield is average but with exceptionally large fruits, overripe
and sugar-rich. I am looking forward to this rakija very much, even though
I made it out of spite to all adversity. I committed myself to fulfill my New Year's
wish for my friend Dušan, to drink together the rakija from 2019. So, here it is.
Out of spite!

Rakija No. 13
Despite the mild winter, late frosts took its toll on the flowers of this gentle
fruit tree. The slopes of Fruška Gora were almost left without apricots.
One of the few diligent orchardmen who had protected his apricot trees
in the critical phase of inflorescence was Mirko. His family orchard
on the Pearl Island near the Old Tisa, gave a rich fruity yield.
Selected cultivars ripen later and ensure more sugars and aromas
in the fruits. After the fermentation process and carefully
conducted distillation, these aromas were transfused into this rakija.

Rakija No. 4
Specific location of this small orchard on the northern slopes of Fruška belle,
not far from the Danube coast, gave its contribution to the aromas of this
apricot rakija. This old cultivar apricot orchard was revitalized couple
of years ago and made its owner proud. Following the advice of his father
who planted the fruit trees decades ago, Radovan renewed his orchard and
now reaps the rewards from the sun and soil.

Rakija No. 1
The apricot tree in our backyard in Novi Sad was planted in the beginning of
the 90's. It filled many jars with apricot jam, while the yields from 1995,
1996 and 1998 were used only for rakija. This rakija is a blend of those
years and a memory of my father who made it. The tree was taken out in 2013.
