Stara Pesma Medovača Šljiva

At a glance

"Medovača Šljiva" is a plum-honey rakija from Stara Pesma — the combination of classic Šljivovica (plum brandy) with Serbian bee honey results in a harmonious, sweeter distillate with a fuller texture and less sharpness than pure Šljivovica.

In the glass

Golden yellow to light amber; clear, warm color.

On the nose

Ripe plum, damson, and dried plums dominate. Honey, beeswax, and a hint of vanilla form the sweet framework. With aeration, a nutty, candied note emerges.

On the palate

Smooth entry, less sharpness due to the honey content. The plum fruit dominates on the palate. Warm, sweetish, and carried by a long aromatic finish. The finish is soft and lingering.

Serving suggestion

As a digestif after a Serbian meal; with desserts, plum tart, intense cheeses, or neat at room temperature.

Serving recommendation
