Angelove Cherry Brandy, Angelove Estate 0.5
100% pure fruit distillate from Kyustendil cherries, produced in the distillery of the Angelovi family farm in the village of Shipochano. After picking, all leaves and problematic parts are removed from the cherries, the pits are also removed by hand, and only the pure fruit goes into the fermenters. At a controlled temperature of 24 degrees, the fermentation of the raw material is completed in about a week, and immediately after that, the rakia is distilled in a hybrid copper pot still. The result is an astonishingly preserved cherry fruit taste and cherry confit with a soft and pleasant flavor. Try Angelove Cherry Rakia chilled with traditional Bulgarian salads!
