Maraska Slivovitz Kosher Brandy (1L, 40%)

Maraska Slivovitz Kosher Brandy is a plum brandy produced in Croatia by Maraska, distilled from 100% blue plums grown in the Adriatic hinterland. The fruit comes from six- to eight-year-old trees, is fermented, then double-distilled and matured in oak casks. It is certified Kosher for Passover. The nose shows freshly picked plums, dark cherries and prune juice, with almond paste, soft vanilla, orchard blossom and light wood seasoning. The palate is medium-bodied, juicy and rich, with cooked plum, black cherry, baked apricot, sweet almond, honey-glazed fruit and cinnamon spice, plus a whisper of toast and light tannin. The finish is clean, slightly dry and well balanced, with plum skin, nut-shell bitterness, a subtle herbal edge and mellow oak.
