Old barrels get a new life
By buying old wooden barrels from Slavonian cellars and restoring them, we give them a new life to create our barrel aged gin.
A bittersweet rhapsody of flavors that will pamper your palate
Planinkovac is a Slavonian herbal liqueur with a sweet-bitter taste, whose 14 spices create an irresistible fullness of flavor and pamper the palate of all lovers of a good drop.
Strong connection with location
From the herbs that dominate in the distillates, to the water that goes into it, to the label and logo shape – every one piece has a strong connection to Kaptol, Papuk and the Iron Age.
World-award-winning distillates that honor tradition
Slavonian craft distillates, whose plants originated in the Slavonian forests at the foot of Papuk, have enchanted experienced palates at prestigious national and global competitions.
What makes Castrum Gin special
Spring water
We use natural spring water from Papuk for making our gin.Secret ingredient
Castrum Gin has a secret ingredient strongly connected to Kaptol, but it can be detected by only the most experienced tastebuds.Special spices
Complementary to classic spices such as juniper, star anise, coriander and hibiscus, Castrum Gin is permeated with spices specific to Slavonia – black mulberry leaves and elderflower seeds.“The Happy Machine”
Modern still, bought from Fresl family which has a rich tradition of producing stills, hasn’t disappointed not one bit during distilling. On the contrary, it liked showing off its magic to people coming over during distillation, as well as the impatient owners waiting to see new drops of divine scent and taste.

THE PROCESS
Maceration
Natural spring water is added to wheat distillate. Then come the spices, and every one of them macerates according to planned schedule, to release more aroma.
Distillation
The process in which “The Happy Machine” does most of the work. The distillation takes place until the output spirit contains 40% alcohol by volume, at which point the distillation ends. The final spirit proof goes beyond 70%, which is lowered by adding more quality distilled water to reach the target proof.
Aging
Gin ages in stainless steel barrels for a month before its bottled. The barrel aged gin takes even more time aging in wooden barrels.
Bottling and labelling
Every bottle is filled by hand. Then it gets to labelling, after which the gin is ready to make new tasters happy.
Castrum gin
Castrum Gin comes in two flavours, and whichever you choose, with the first sip you’ll feel the breath of Slavonia on your tastebuds, wherever you find yourself at the moment.
