Unicum Zwack Szilva 1L

Description

Unicum Zwack Szilva

One of the oldest herbal liqueurs to be found in Europe, the original Unicum Zwack recipe comprises over 40 different herbs. Most of these are sourced from within the Carpathian basin, but some are also imported from all over the world (Morocco, China, India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Nigeria, the Americas and even Australia).

Its history dates back over 230 years to 1790, and the recipe has remained the same over this time, and is a closely guarded secret of the six generations of the Zwack family who have been producing it in Hungary.  

Just like the original Unicum Zwack, their Szilva (plum in Hungarian) edition, has the same process of preparing (and used the same ingredients). The only difference (as you might suggest from the name), is that this is the first herb liqueur in the world to be aged over dried plums.

This gives this variety a distinctive harmony, and a rounded, velvery and highly fruit fuelled taste. 

Interesting fact: So they know which is which during the aging process, the Unicum classic is aged in red edged barrels whilst the Unicum Szilva is aged in gold edged barrels.

Perfect Serve

This is easily enjoyed as a shot. Simpy pour 2 - 4cl of the Unicum into a short glass, and enjoy as a fruity digestif after a meal.

For a longer drink, try a Zwack Szilva & Soda. In a highball glass add a couple of cubes of ice. Pour in 40ml of Unicum Szilva, 20ml of fresh lime juice, and 15ml of sugar syrup. Stir well, then fill the glass with soda water.
