Fruit & Terroir
Crafted in the heart of Kulina, a region renowned for its fertile and mineral rich soil, Korijen plum rakija is crafted from premium plums cultivated in ideal conditions.
Abundant sunlight and steady air circulation results in plums with elevated natural sugars and a rich aromatic profile making them the perfect foundation of a rakija known for its depth and quality.
Varietals
We grow heritage plum varieties native to our region, including Ranka, Mađarka, Čačanska Rodna and Ljepotica, which are all grown and sourced within a 20 kilometre radius of our distillery. Harvest takes place late in the season ensuring that our plums contain a peak concerntration of fermentable sugars, esters and polyphenols, which are essential for superior fermentation and a rakija full of complexity and flavour.
A crosscut of a plum tree from our orchard
The crosscut of a tree reflects its life, marking the seasons and each year it has weathered. With an average lifespan of 20–30 years, each of our trees has a unique story to tell. While thick rings show years of abundance, thinner rings tell of quieter, wiser seasons. Our older plum trees produce fewer fruits but of higher quality, while younger trees offer abundant harvests that benefit from time to mature.
Distillation
This careful process preserves the fruits natural character and produces a spirit that is exceptionally smooth, aromatic, and fruit bodied. Every drop reflects the harmony of our plums and the skill of our master distillers.

Unaged Plum Character
Korijen plum rakija, in its unaged form offers a crystal clear expression of fresh plum: fragrant, harmonious, richly fruity, and subtly sweet. Its natural sweetness leads into a bright crisp finish capturing the true spirit of the fruit and the finesse of artisanal distillation. The essence of our plums shines through in its purest, most refined form.
Our barrique matured plum rakija matures slowly in 225 litre Slavonian oak barrels that have been lightly charred to enrich our rakija without overpowering the fruits true essence.
This gentle maturation allows the brandy to ‘breathe’ and softly oxidize, revealing greater flavor complexity, a soft, velvety texture, and a golden amber color.
The dominant flavour of the dried plum and woody notes is ehanced with delicate layers of toasted walnut, vanilla and smoky caramel. With added structure and depth from the oak, this is rakija rooted in tradition, shaped by time, and bottled with pride.
