R. Jelinek Slivovitz 5 Year Plum Brandy (750ml)

For kosher slivovitz, this is the reference bottle. R. Jelinek distills blue plums from Moravia and rests the spirit in oak for five years. The result is the plum brandy that has anchored Ashkenazi Seder tables for generations.

Mood: Heritage, warming, ceremonial.

Tasting notes

Ripe plum and oak, with a touch of dried stone fruit. Warming plum on the palate, with subtle vanilla and a fine spirit heat. A long, dry, orchard-fruited finish.

Food pairing

Pour it neat after a heavy Yom Tov meal, or as a shot at the Seder.
