Zwack Unicum 40% ABV 3 litres

"This is truly unique!" – this enthusiastic reaction is attributed to Kaiser Joseph II of the Holy Roman Empire in 1790, after he tasted the herbal liqueur created by Dr Zwack for the first time. The liqueur, made from over 40 different roots and herbs, is based on a traditional recipe that is still closely guarded by the Zwack family to this day. Originally, the herbs were steeped in alcohol, sweetened with sugar and used as a medicinal elixir – and were even served to the Kaiser by his court physician as a preventative measure against the plague. Today, however, herbal liqueurs are no longer known for their medicinal properties.

To produce Unicum, the selected herbs are macerated in alcohol for several weeks to extract the essential active ingredients. The mixture is then distilled and stored in oak barrels for six months to allow the flavour to mature.
