Radlík Apple is a pure fruit distillate made from Melrose apples, a variety that the Radlík distillery discovered in a small orchard in the Český Brod region. The goal was to find a variety whose characteristic tart flavor and aroma would evoke the taste of original, wild apples—and Melrose perfectly fulfilled this vision.
Apple brandy is one of the unjustly overlooked fruit brandies. Yet different apple varieties can offer a surprisingly diverse spectrum of flavors and aromas—from fresh fruitiness through gentle acidity to a fuller aromatic expression.
Tasting Profile:
Aroma: Typically apple-like, fresh, and slightly tart, reminiscent of original, unspoiled apples.
Taste: Clean, fruity, and distinctly varietal, with the tart apple character of the Melrose variety.
Radlík Apple is ideal for those who want to experience the authentic taste of apples in distilled form. Compared to barrel-aged versions, it comes across as more straightforward, fresher, and fruitier. It’s interesting to taste it alongside its golden sister version aged in an oak barrel and compare the difference between the clear fruit brandy and the aged distillate.
About Radlík Distillery:
Radlík Distillery is a Czech artisanal distillery based in Jílové u Prahy that specializes in the production of authentic fruit distillates, liqueurs, and barrel-aged spirits. The brand is one of the most prominent representatives of the modern Czech distilling scene and has long demonstrated that fruit brandy can be a premium spirit comparable to global production.
The distillery’s history dates back to 1998, when it was founded as one of the first grower-owned distilleries in the Central Bohemian Region. Since 2001, it has also held a license for a fruit distillery. A significant milestone was the expansion and modernization of operations in 2018, which enabled the distillery to expand its own production on a larger scale and raise the quality of production even higher.
Radlík Distillery is one of the most prominent Czech producers of fruit spirits. In 2025, it was named Distillery of the Year for the fourth time and has won over 70 gold medals in domestic and international competitions. It has also been named Champion—the overall winner of the Spirits of the Year competition—three times.
