Anton Kaapl Plum 0,5l 47%

Anton Kaapl Plum is a pure fruit distillate produced by alcoholic fermentation and multiple distillation of high-quality, fully ripe plums. No added flavors, no sugar, and no other additives. It is diluted only with soft demineralized water from a 102-meter-deep well in the Klikov formation of the Třeboň Basin.

Production:

All plums are thoroughly pitted before fermentation. This prevents the typical bitter almond flavor, which is pronounced in some slivovitz, from entering the distillate. The result is a cleaner, smoother, and fruitier profile that highlights the character of the plums themselves.

The mash made from high-quality fruit undergoes a carefully controlled multiple distillation process. Modern technology combined with the experience of a master distiller allows us to preserve the maximum amount of aromatic substances while maintaining exceptional smoothness.

The distillate is then aged in stainless steel tanks, where its flavor gradually rounds out and harmonizes.

Tasting profile:

The aroma is light with a clean plum aroma, while the flavor is full-bodied with a delicate fruity sweetness and a long, elegant finish.

Serving recommendation:

DO NOT CHILL OR FREEZE.

The optimal serving temperature is 12–18 °C. Excessive cooling would suppress the delicate aroma and structure of the distillate, which is the result of careful work with pitted fruit.

Anton Kaapl, born in 1884 and died in 1948, was the founder of the family tradition of distilling fruit spirits in Jílovice, South Bohemia. His name is now borne by the family distillery, which is a proud continuer of these traditional practices and refers to the rich history and Austro-Hungarian roots of the family. Anton Kaapl, a veteran of the Great War, had a significant career in both military and civilian roles, serving as mayor or deputy mayor of Jílovice until 1945. The distillery, which was founded on the basis of these long-standing family experiences, still bears the words "Familientradition aus Gilowitz" on the labels of its products, honoring its roots and history.
