Planinkovac is, in my humble opinion, the best wormwood-based liqueur in Croatia. The aroma comes through beautifully, without being overwhelmed by sugars. Instead, it’s perfectly bittersweet, just as you’d expect from a bitter liqueur. It’s a product that seduces, not only with its appearance but also with its aroma and taste. I always gladly recommend it to my guests.
The count of Papuk is jealous that he hasn’t had the chance to try this gin in his time, made so close to his chambers, but he is also probably proud to have his horse’s ornament decorate this extraordinary gin.
We spent The First of May weekend tasting new gin in a small place underneath Papuk. Distillery is led by extraordinarily pleasant team with a movie-worthy story behind the whole project. Mihovil and Iva have brought the sole appearance of a bottle of spirit to a higher level. Great company, phenomenal gin, and a sunny Saturday you could only wish for.
