A distinctive and characterful spirit from Pakruojis Manor Distillery, where traditional Lithuanian heritage meets a contemporary approach to production. This infusion demonstrates how humble vegetables can be transformed into a drink with a clear identity, offering an authentic profile and refined herbal expression.
The palate is led by an earthy, gently sweet beetroot character, balanced by the aromatic lift of lovage (celery leaf). The result is an unexpected yet harmonious combination—rich and warming, yet retaining a sense of freshness. The finish is smooth, with lingering notes of mild sweetness and spice.
On the nose, fresh beetroot, dried herbs, and subtle spice notes come together, evoking the aromas of a rural garden—natural, vibrant, and quietly nostalgic.
Best served chilled, either as an aperitif or a digestif. It pairs especially well with traditional Lithuanian foods such as smoked meats, pickled vegetables, and roasted potatoes.
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.
