EMPERUS Privilège 25 Years – The Crowning Achievement of Serbian Distilling Art

What this brandy means to you: time, depth, perfection. The EMPERUS Privilège Šljivovica is the masterpiece of Serbian distilling art – a distillate that matured for 25 years in Serbian oak barrels and was awarded "Best Fruit Brandy in the World" at the New York International Spirits Competition in 2021.

In the glass, it reveals a dark ruby red color with fine reflections. On the nose, a complex, elegant bouquet unfolds with ripe plum, dried figs, vanilla, honey, and a hint of tobacco leaves – underlined by floral notes reminiscent of jasmine.

On the palate, EMPERUS Privilège is rich, soft, and deeply structured. Each layer reveals new facets: dark fruits, delicate sweetness, subtle bitter almond, and noble wood aromas, carried by perfect balance and silky texture. The finish is long, warm, and graceful – almost endless.

Crafted from the autochthonous plum varieties Požegača and Rankovica, this brandy embodies the essence of Serbian distilling tradition. Distilled according to family recipes, matured in barrels from the Jastrebac, Radan, and Stara Planina mountains, it creates a spirit of rare finesse.
