About the Lžín distillery:

The distillery in Lžín has deep roots dating back to the 19th century, when it was part of a large estate owned by the Schönburg-Hartenstein noble family. While the original brewery ceased operations in 1881, the distillery remained in operation and became an important part of the local economy.

Originally an agricultural distillery focused on the production of raw alcohol from potatoes, it underwent a major transformation in 1971 when it was converted into a fruit distillery, heralding a new direction and quality of production. Until 1992, it operated as a major fruit processor in the region.

In 1996, the distillery was taken over by its current owner, who breathed new life into it. A modern fermentation room, a new distillery, and an alcohol warehouse were built, and the production of high-quality fruit distillates began. At the same time, the distillery opened its doors to small growers as a distillery, continuing the strong tradition of community distillation.
