Rudolf Jelínek Apricot 0,7l 42%

R. Jelínek Apricot is a premium spirit that boasts a rich history and production traditions dating back to the 16th century in Vizovice. Originally known for its plum brandy, regional distilleries have expanded their production to include apricot brandy in response to the successful apricot cultivation in South Moravia.

Production and characteristics:
R. Jelínek Apricot is the result of a three-stage distillation from mature apricot fermentation, which ensures its exceptional purity and smoothness. It is characterised by its sweet aroma of apricots and a slight hint of pips, which is the result of the presence of pips in the fermentation yeast throughout the fermentation. This technique gives the spirit a subtle almond flavour and enhances its aromatic profile.

Taste and serving:
Apricot is characterised by its delicate and fruity flavour, which is best expressed when served at room temperature, allowing its rich aromas and flavours to develop fully. It is ideal for consumption on its own or as a base for various cocktails.

Recommended Cocktail - Czech Spritz:
For a fresh summer drink, try the "Czech Spritz": mix 2 cl apricot brandy with 2 cl Aperol and top up with sparkling water. Serve in a wider wine glass and garnish with a piece of apricot or orange for an aesthetic and taste experience.

R. Jelínek Apricot is a perfect example of how modern technology and historical methods can work together to create drinks of the highest quality. This spirit is a great choice for fruit spirits lovers looking for quality and tradition in one.
