What it is
The bitter black secret: Unicum — Hungary's dark herbal liqueur (40%), a secret blend of 40+ herbs, created in 1790 by Dr Zwack (court physician) for Emperor Joseph II, whose verdict ('Das ist ein Unicum!' — that is unique!) named it. Origins: the Zwack family kept the recipe through wars, communism (the state made a fake; the family kept the true one in exile) and back. Made from: herbs and spices macerated and distilled, aged in oak. How it's made: 1) Macerate and distil the botanicals in parts. 2) Blend; age in oak casks. 3) Bottle in the famous round flask. Served: ice-cold as a digestif or apéritif; Unicum Szilva (plum) is the softer sibling. Flavor: medicinal-deep, bitter herbs, eucalyptus shadow. Strength: 40%. Culture: Unicum is Hungary's toast and hangover cure in one; the Zwack cross logo is a national icon. See also: Pálinka, Tokaji.
