Žufánek Apricot 0,5l 45%

Žufánek Apricot is a delicate yet distinctly fruity spirit produced by triple distillation of perfectly ripe apricots. This process ensures maximum purity of expression, smoothness, and an intense, authentic apricot aroma.

Tasting profile:

Aroma: Open and full, with a clear hint of freshly cut ripe apricots.

Taste: Round, juicy, fruity, and long, without harshness or residual sweetness. Thanks to this balance, the distillate has a clean and structured character.

Approximately 14 kg of juicy apricots are needed to produce 1 liter of Žufánek Apricot, which is directly reflected in its fullness, intensity, and natural expression. The result is a distillate that stands up well both when tasted on its own and as an elegant digestif after a good meal.

Serving and storage:

The recommended serving and storage temperature is 10–16 °C.

At temperatures below approximately 8 °C, slight cloudiness or the formation of fine bluish particles may occur due to the precipitation of aromatic oils. This is a natural phenomenon, not a defect.

The distillate does not need to be chilled or frozen – it is the aromatic oils that carry the flavor and complexity that give this apricot brandy its character.

About the Žufánek distillery:

The family-owned distillery ŽUFÁNEK s.r.o. was founded in 2000 by Marcela and Josef Žufánek together with their sons Martin, Josef, and Jan. It is located in Boršice u Blatnice near Uherské Hradiště, at the foot of the Bílé Karpaty protected landscape area – a region with an ideal microclimate for growing fruit.

The basis of production is the distillery's own 15-hectare orchard, which is run according to organic farming principles. Eight varieties of plums (such as Čačanská, Stanley, and Anna Späth), Williams pears, greengages, and Oblačinská sour cherries are grown here. The orchards are also gradually being expanded to include aromatic and medicinal herbs, which are mainly used in the production of gins and absinthes.

The heart of the distillery is a modern distillery with four 300-liter distillation columns. In addition to traditional boilers from Destila Brno, the distillery also uses state-of-the-art technology from the German brand Arnold Holstein, which allows for maximum preservation of the aromatic substances and character of the distilled fruit.
