Anton Kaapl Apple with Honey 0,5l 35%

Anton Kaapl Apple with Honey is an original specialty created by macerating honey caps in high-quality apple brandy from Anton Kaapl. The honey caps come from bees kept in pristine nature on the border of the Třeboň Basin and the Novohradské Mountains, where beekeeping is carried out in a traditional and gentle manner.

Production:

The basis is a fine apple distillate, in which honeycomb caps obtained from uncapping honeycombs are macerated. The resulting composition is enriched with royal jelly, propolis, pollen, and honey. The distillate is then diluted with soft demineralized water from a 102-meter-deep well in the Klikov formation of the Třeboň Basin. It contains 105 g of sugars per liter and is typically characterized by a delicate natural cloudiness.

Tasting profile:

The taste is harmonious, honey-sweet, with a subtle apple note and a slightly resinous, bee-like character. The aroma is full, round, and natural.

Annual production is always limited – the quantity depends on the work of the bees and the availability of raw materials.

Serving recommendation:

DO NOT CHILL OR FREEZE.

The recommended serving temperature is 12–16 °C to fully bring out the honey complexity and structure 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.
