We inherited it from our ancestors, infused it with all our knowledge, and proudly bequeath it to future generations.
For generations, the Blagojević family has been involved in fruit cultivation and brandy production. Over time, knowledge and secrets of maintaining healthy fruit orchards and distilling high-quality fruit brandy have been passed down from generation to generation.
Brandy demands time, dedication, passion, and constant presence. We have encapsulated all these elements along with genuine quality into our bottles.
This brandy, aged for a minimum of 3 years in barrels made of Serbian oak, derived from 2 varieties of plums, serves as a ticket to the realm of premium plum brandies.
Premium brandy, aged for 5 years in oak barrels, crafted from a blend of 3 plum varieties, repeatedly honored with gold medals for its quality.
Exclusive brandy, aged for 8 years in oak barrels, a blend of 4 plum varieties, released in small, limited batches, representing a blend of our finest brandies.
The premium quality, distinct aromatic notes, and typical character classify this brandy, derived from indigenous varieties of Leskovac and Vranje quince, at the very top of our range.
We are one of the few distilleries with a fully integrated production process, „From Plum to Glass.“
We own our own plantation with around 30,000 plum trees, situated at an altitude of 600m. Our late harvest gives us a comparative advantage in terms of the aromatic complexity of the fruit itself. With strictly controlled protection and optimal harvesting at full maturity, we ensure high-quality input fruit because „Brandy is created in the orchard.“
The preparation and processing of fruit occur just a few hours after harvesting, allowing for minimal losses while maintaining the fruit’s freshness and protecting it from spoilage. The plum processing involves pitting, fine grinding, and treatment with selected yeasts and other necessary enological agents.
The fermentation process takes place in closed tanks under controlled conditions regarding temperature and hygiene, with constant monitoring of fermentation parameters. Distillation occurs in copper stills, under the strict supervision of technologists and an experienced team of workers, utilizing the latest advancements in the production of strong alcoholic beverages.
Our plum brandies exclusively mature in barrels made of domestic oak, ranging from 3 to 8 years depending on the batch. We believe that the brandy cellar reflects the essence of every distillery.
After maturation, blending, and equalization, the brandy completes its journey into the bottle. We offer a wide range of packaging options, from 50ml to 1000ml glass bottles, as well as innovative packaging in 30ml sachets. With a constant stock and the ability to respond to every customer’s request promptly, we ensure customer satisfaction.
Finally, the brandy concludes its journey in a glass, eagerly awaiting the consumer to showcase the full splendor of authentic Serbian plum brandy. We have crafted it, now it’s your turn to enjoy it.
Brandies are categorized based on the fruit from which they are made or the ingredients added during production, such as certain herbs, juniper berries, and similar. In this regard, we have plum brandy, also known as slivovitz, apricot brandy, quince brandy, grape brandy, herbal brandy, juniper brandy, and so on. However, since many brandies like herbal and juniper brandies have plum brandy as their base, we can confidently say that plum brandy is the queen of all brandies. Only royal brandies can withstand being in contact with oak for up to thirty years.
