Fernet Stock Plum 23% | 500 ml

QUANTITY: 500 ml ___ Fernet Stock Plum 23% 500ml is an original variation of the traditional Czech herbal spirit, which combines the characteristic bitterness of Fernet Stock with the delicate sweetness of ripe plums. This drink brings a more modern and fruity concept of the classic Fernet, thanks to which it appeals not only to lovers of traditional bitters, but also to consumers looking for a softer and more drinkable digestif. The combination of the herbal recipe and plum character creates a harmonious and very pleasant taste profile suitable for sipping on its own or in simple mixed drinks. The color of the drink is dark amber to mahogany with slightly ruby ​​reflections reminiscent of prunes and caramelized fruit. It appears full and elegant in the glass, while the delicate viscosity suggests a rounder and slightly sweet character. The aroma combines the typical herbal tones of Fernet Stock with the aroma of plum fruit. The aroma blends notes of dried plums, herbal extracts, citrus peel, fine spices and light caramel. The basis of the recipe traditionally consists of a mixture of fourteen carefully selected herbs that are characteristic of the Fernet Stock brand. The resulting aroma is softer than that of classic Fernet and appears rounder and fruitier. The secret of the Fernet Stock recipe comes from the long tradition of producing herbal spirits based on maceration of a mixture of herbs and maturation for several months. The taste is harmonious, bittersweet and very well balanced. First, sweeter notes of ripe plums and candied fruit appear, which then turn into a delicate herbal bitterness with a touch of citrus peel, menthol and spices. Compared to classic Fernet Stock, the Plum variant appears softer, less bitter and more fruity. The aftertaste is medium-long, slightly spicy and pleasantly warming. It tastes best well chilled, served alone, on ice or in combination with tonic or cola. Fernet Stock itself is known among consumers for its pronounced herbal character, menthol character and less aggressive bitterness compared to Italian Fernets. Fernet Stock Plum goes well with traditional Czech cuisine, especially smoked meats, roast duck, pâtés or strong semi-hard cheeses. It also perfectly complements desserts with plums, jam, cinnamon or dark chocolate. Thanks to its fruitier character, it also works very well as a digestif after a hearty meal or as the basis for simple long drinks with ginger lemonade or tonic. The history of the Fernet Stock brand dates back to 1927, when a unique recipe for this herbal spirit was created in Pilsen-Božkov. The basis of production is the traditional maceration of carefully selected herbs and their subsequent maturation, which gives the drink its characteristic depth and complexity. Over the decades, the brand has become a symbol of Czech herbal alcohol and one of the most famous digestifs in Central Europe. Today, Stock Plzeň-Božkov is one of the most important producers of spirits in the region and, in addition to the classic Fernet, regularly releases modern flavored variants that respond to current consumer trends. ___ COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Czech Republic ___ INGREDIENTS: water, alcohol, sugar, herb mixture, concentrated apple juice, natural flavors, coloring: caramel, concentrated plum juice, acidity regulator: citric acid ___ NUTRITION VALUES: not stated ___ WARNING: Alcohol content 23% vol.
