A Taste of True Hungarian Pálinka

The pálinka selection boasts a colorful palette of fruity flavors, all made from high-quality, hand-picked, and expertly fermented local fruits. Some of the highlights include:

APPLE (Alma) Pálinka: Made from the renowned Jonathan (Jonathán) apple varieties grown in Szabolcs-Szatmár, this spirit radiates the true aroma and flavor of ripe apples. Thanks to meticulous selection and strict processing methods, the result is a clean, intense, slightly fiery drink with the full character of mature fruit.

AGED APPLE (Érlelt Alma) Pálinka: Crafted from select Jonathan (Jonathán) apples and distilled using the traditional “kisüsti” (small pot still) method, this pálinka then spends three months in oak barrels. The wood aging imparts unique, slightly tannic and woody notes, making it the perfect opening or closing dram for unforgettable occasions.

SOUR CHERRY (Meggy) Pálinka: Harvested from 137 hectares of cherry orchards, including both “Gypsy” (Cigány) and “Cluster-bearing” (Fürtös) cherry varieties, this pálinka undergoes controlled fermentation and artisanal distillation. The result is a spirit both sweet and tart—excellent for lively gatherings or intimate conversations.

BED SOUR CHERRY (Ágyas Meggy) Pálinka: This “dessert specialty” rests on a fresh bed of sour cherries, infusing it with vibrant color and a distinctively rich, fruity flavor—perfect for those with a sweet tooth.

PLUM (Szilva) Pálinka: Made from noble blue plums from 60 hectares of local orchards, this classic favorite offers a juicy, bold plum taste—ideal for sharing with friends and making every get-together memorable.

AGED PLUM (Érlelt Szilva) Pálinka: Carefully selected plums are distilled and then aged for three months in medium-charred oak barrels, gaining a sophisticated, slightly woody character that deepens the harmony between fruitiness and the pálinka’s gentle warmth.

APRICOT (Kajszibarack) Pálinka: Crafted from fruit hand-picked at peak ripeness from a 23-hectare apricot orchard, this spirit is rich, sweet, and aromatic, with notes of vanilla and citrus. It’s a dazzling choice for any celebration—a true enhancer of special moments.

WILLIAMS PEAR (Vilmoskörte) Pálinka: Only ripe Williams pears (Vilmoskörte), picked fresh from the trees in Szabolcs-Szatmár, are used for this bottle. The result: an unmistakable, intense aroma and flavor, with hints of citrus and cinnamon.

PEAR (Körte) Pálinka: Made from carefully selected pear varieties, this pálinka delivers a pure, fruity flavor while retaining its bold character.

YELLOW MUSCAT POMACE (Sárgamuskotály Törköly) Pálinka: Stronger than the rest at 44% ABV, this fiery drink uses Muscat pomace from Tokaj. The scent transports you straight into a winepress room, while the taste playfully blends Muscat grape, vanilla, and sweetness—perfectly evocative.

CHERRY (Cseresznye) Pálinka: From 50 hectares of their own orchards, this cherry pálinka bursts with unforgettable, juicy cherry flavor and the faintest tart finish, resulting in a long, sweet sip.

WILD CHERRY (Vadcseresznye) Pálinka: Handpicked wild cherries from their sour cherry (meggy) orchards are distilled to create a sip of pure wild fruitiness—deep aroma, quirky sweetness, and a lingering finish.
