Karfíkův dvůr Koštický Juniper spirit, better known under the traditional name "Borovička".
This specific and unique spirit is produced by a unique method of distilling cider in which juniper berries are macerated. The result is a distillate with a golden colour and a characteristic aroma reminiscent of pine needles, and a lingering taste of calvados.
Aroma: Intense aroma of pine needles with a hint of juniper.
Taste: Strong and persistent, reminiscent of calvados with juniper undertones.
Koštický Juniper spirit is not only an expression of quality and tradition, but also a continuation of the history and culture of distillation in the Czech Republic.
Koštický juniper spirit is ideal for lovers of strong and characteristic spirits. Enjoy it neat, on the rocks, or as a base for unique cocktails that take on a whole new dimension thanks to this spirit.
Karfíkův dvůr was originally focused on intensive fruit farming but due to the difficulties of the fruit trade, it switched to processing. In 1997 a fruit drying plant was opened and in 1999 a fruit distillery was started.
The history of distillate production in Bohemia dates back to the time of John of Luxembourg, but it flourished during the reign of Charles IV. Initially, alcohol was distilled mainly from wine, but over time the choice of raw materials expanded. By the 16th century, various fruits and herbs were being distilled.
The desire of the Karfíkův dvůr to provide customers with quality spirits led to the production of a genuine apple spirit inspired by the French 'Calvados', focusing on the Golden Delicious variety for its sweetness and distinctive aroma.
To achieve the best quality and taste of the spirit, Karfíkův dvůr products are aged in oak barrels, which gives them a unique aroma.
