A high-quality, three times distilled plum brandy made the same way for centuries, preserving R. Jelinek’s long-dated recipe. Kosher for Passover Silver Slivovitz, made of the best well-matured plums, has smooth, slightly almond taste.
Sometimes comfort is a bourbon. But sometimes what I crave on a winter’s night is a Slivovitz to warm my body and soul by evoking memories of my grandfather and special events. This is as clean a Slivo as I have found readily available. The fruit is bright, but not at all sweet. Until I can find the Italian plums to make my own, this is not a bad choice. And for certain 40-somethings, this will bring you to a happy place filled with meaning and memories.
FAQs
Fruit brandy is a delicious alcoholic beverage that typically includes brandies made from fruits other than grapes. Brandy itself is usually made from distilled wine, but its definition includes any fruits — even options like apples, pineapples and berries. Therefore, “fruit” brandy tends to exclude plain brandies made from grapes.
The most common fruit used to make brandy is the grape, and brandy can simply be thought of as distilled wine. Grape brandy is usually considered as “plain” brandy — not in a derogatory way, simply due to the fact that brandies can technically be made from any fruit. Fruit brandies can be distilled from fermented plums, apples, pears, cherries, pineapples or any other suitable fruit.
