Emperus 15 – Plum Brandy 15 Years Old

Emperus 15 – Plum Brandy 15 Years – a premium product from Emperus Distillery, Šumadija.

Tasting Notes
Deep mahogany-brown with golden reflections, clear luminosity. On the nose, a complex bouquet of ripe apricots and toasted walnuts, caressed by alluring honey notes; delicate chocolate accents and the characteristic tannic imprint of Serbian sessile oak. On the palate, harmonious and long-lasting, with a velvety-elegant texture. Ripe plum fruit and nutty aromas combine with a rich, chocolatey finish and deep woody traces. Long, warm, soft, multifaceted.
