Sudlička Apricot 0,7l 43%

Sudlička Apricot is a delicate fruit distillate with a distinctive, naturally aromatic expression of ripe apricots. It stands out with its pure aroma, full flavor, and pleasant warmth, making it ideal as a digestif after a good meal or for slow enjoyment with friends.

Production:

We use only well-ripened, sweet, and aromatic apricots, mainly from the Velká Pavlovice region. The fruit is gently ground into mash and then fermented in vats, where the natural sugars are converted into alcohol. Fermentation is the key stage of the entire process – a stable temperature and the right conditions determine whether a truly harmonious and pure distillate will be produced.

After distillation, the brandy is left to rest and harmonize so that the individual tones blend perfectly. The result is an apricot brandy with a balanced character, a fresh summer aroma, and a pleasant strength of 43%, which will appeal to both lovers of traditional brandies and those who prefer milder fruit distillates.

Serving recommendation:

The ideal serving temperature is between 10–15 °C. Too low a temperature will suppress the aromatic components and impoverish the resulting taste experience. At this temperature, the fruity aroma, the purity of the distillate and its long, pleasantly warm finish come into their own.

Sudlička Distillery:

Sudlička brandy and its history date back to ancient times, when an old farmstead, which once served as a yeoman's fortress, protected the busy trade route to Potštejn Castle from robbers. Matěj Sudlička breathed new life into this place by starting the first fruit distillation. This step marked the beginning of a long tradition that has continued to develop over the years.

Historical milestones:

1918: The Čižmář family buys the estate and continues the farming tradition of the place.

1998: The current owner, Igor Čižmář, revives fruit distillation, reigniting the flames of traditional production in Sudličkova Lhota.

2006: Purchase of a distillery in Hrobice, where Igor Čižmář revives and modernizes the production of fruit distillates and liqueurs, continuing a 120-year history and tradition.
