Anton Kaapl Apricot 0,5l 47%

Anton Kaapl Apricot is an authentic fruit distillate produced by alcoholic fermentation and subsequent multi-stage distillation of carefully selected apricots. It is diluted exclusively with soft demineralized water from a 102-meter-deep well in the Klikov formation of the Třeboň Basin. No sugar, no flavorings, no other additives.

Production:

Unique apricots imported directly from Serbia, known for their fullness and intense aroma, are used in production. The fruit is processed without pits, thanks to which the distillate retains a clean, sweetly fruity profile without unwanted bitterness.

Tasting profile:

Properly conducted multi-stage distillation under the supervision of a master distiller results in a distillate with a characteristically delicate flavor that is typical of this distillery. The aroma is dominated by an intense apricot aroma, while the taste is sweet, full of fruitiness with a long and harmonious finish.

Serving recommendation:

DO NOT CHILL OR FREEZE.

The ideal serving temperature is 12–18 °C. Too low a temperature would suppress the natural aromatic components and mask the fruity character of the distillate.

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.
