Lžínská apricot schnapps 0,5l 50%

Lžínská Apricot Schnapps is a pure, natural distillate that captures the best of ripe Moravian apricots. This fruit distillate is made exclusively from pitted, ripe to overripe apricots to bring out their sweet taste and aromatic profile without the distracting tones of the pits.

Characteristics:

Only fruits from southern Moravia are used, where apricots have ideal conditions – plenty of sun, heat, and soil. After harvesting, they are carefully pitted, left to ferment, and then distilled twice using traditional methods. The result is a pure, fruity, and exceptionally fragrant apricot brandy that will win the heart of every lover of authentic spirits.

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.
