Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
Slivovitz is the plum brandy of Central and Southeastern Europe, and this bottling from Maraska, a Croatian distillery whose history reaches back to the 18th century, shows what a decade in oak does to it. Ripe plums from Croatian orchards are fermented, distilled, then rested ten years in oak barrels. The result pours deep amber with a nose of prunes, dried apricot, honey, vanilla and a touch of spice. On the palate, ripe plum leads, followed by raisin, fig, caramel and gentle oak warmth, before a long, smooth, warming finish. It suits the drinker who knows grape brandy and wants to explore what fruit and time can do. It also earns a place on a collector's shelf of aged regional spirits. Sip it neat as an aperitif or digestif, or let it stand in for whiskey in an Old Fashioned. We carry it because it makes a convincing, layered case for a style many shoppers have never tried.
Pairs well with
- Aged cheese platter — The brandy's honeyed dried-fruit sweetness plays against the salty, nutty depth of well-aged cheeses.
- Plum tart or bread pudding — Rich desserts echo the ripe plum, raisin and caramel notes while the oak keeps the pairing from turning cloying.
- Hot summer evening aperitif — Served freezer-cold, its plum and apricot fruit turns crisp and refreshing before a meal.
