Tasting Notes

KLEKA is a traditional Serbian klekovača: a botanical spirit made from plum rakija, wild juniper, and mountain spring water. Unlike gin built on neutral grain alcohol, KLEKA begins with fruit. The berries macerate for one month in the base distillate before being redistilled together. Only the heart cut is retained, and the liquid rests for at least six months before bottling. The result is a dry botanical pour with beautifully integrated notes of juniper, plum, and subtle spice.
