About Antique Pelinkovac

Pelinkovac liqueurs are the spirit of Croatia; they are compared to Italian Amari, but are quite unique and different botanically. The legacy of Antique goes back to 1862 and Franjo Pokorny, a distiller and tradesman in 1862. It was initially sold to pharmacies as a “digestif elixir” to help “cleanse the blood and strengthen the stomach”. During the 1800s, this digestif rose to prominence not only in its home country, but throughout Central Europe. The taste profile of Antique Pelinkovac is complex and layered with over 40 different types of Mediterranean herbs, spices, and botanicals.
