What it is

The plum fire of Moravia: slivovice — plum brandy double-distilled from fermented Damson plums, fiercest in Wallachia (Valašsko) and Vizovice, where the plum festival (Trnkobraní) celebrates it. Origins: plum distilling in Moravia runs centuries deep, blending Jewish, Slovak and Wallachian traditions. Made from: ripe plums, fermented on their sugars, pot-distilled twice. How it's made: 1) Ferment crushed plums. 2) Distil; take the heart. 3) Rest in glass or wood; the best softens beautifully. Served: in small glasses as the welcome (a shot of slivovice is Moravian hello). Flavor: intense plum, almond stone, fire. Strength: 45-55% (home pálit — distilled — often stronger). Culture: every village guards its still (now legalised home distilling within limits); slivovice is Moravia's handshake. See also: Becherovka, Czech Pilsner.
