Overview
Zora 3 Quince Brandy by Emperus is a Serbian quince brandy aged for three years in oak barrels. The profile combines fresh quince aromas with the structuring wood notes of three years of aging. This package contains 20 bottles of 0.1 l each – a format suitable for professional tastings, gastronomic offerings, or representative gift sets.
In the glass
Bright golden yellow, clear and transparent. The color indicates moderate wood extraction – three years of oak bring color without excessive wood dominance. Medium viscosity.
On the nose
Fruity quince aromas open the bouquet: ripe quince, some apple quince, and pear aromas. Underneath, subtle woody spice from the oak aging – vanilla, a hint of caramel, and light cinnamon-wood notes. The overall picture is fruity-aromatic with well-integrated barrel character.
On the palate
Lively attack with ripe quince fruit; the wood structure provides body and a soft vanilla note in the mid-palate. Clean acid balance that preserves freshness. The finish is medium-short, dry-spicy, and accompanied by a pleasant woody warmth.
Serving suggestion
Neat at 16–18 °C as a classic digestif or intermezzo after a meal. On the rocks as a refreshing alternative. Base for Quince Brandy Sour or as an aromatic component in winter cocktails. Pairs well with aged cheese, quince jam, and walnut desserts.

Origin
The Zora line from Emperus represents the export-oriented, modern appearance of the Serbian distillery. With the international term Quince Brandy, Emperus addresses European markets outside the Serbian-speaking area. The quinces come from the Serbian growing region; the three-year oak aging corresponds to the matured style of this product line.
