Distilled in the historical Pakruojis Manor located in the Northern Lithuania region, this bitters stands out with its authentic taste derived from a carefully selected caraway harvest. The dual process of distillation and maceration creates a pure, bright, and unforgettable flavor profile with no added sugar.
Aromas: clean and intense, reminiscent of freshly crushed caraway seeds with mild herbal undertones. In the mouth: dry, naturally sweet and concentrated, leaving a long, warming spicy finish.
Serving recommendations and pairing: best served at room temperature, pairs perfectly with aged cheeses, rye bread toasts, and traditional Lithuanian meat dishes.
In Pakruojis Manor, beverages have been crafted since the 18th century, when the estate housed a hospital, a pharmacy, and a distillery founded by the manor’s apothecary. The infusions and tinctures created at that time were used within the estate and soon spread widely across the region. Today, in this historic place, Lithuania’s first craft distillery has been revived, where ancient, wood-fired copper stills have been brought back to life, writing a new chapter in the country’s spirits-making history.
