An unexpected and bold creation from Pakruojis Manor Distillery, this herbal liqueur bridges old Lithuanian traditions with modern distillation craftsmanship. It demonstrates that even the simplest vegetables can yield a spirit of remarkable depth, authenticity, and aromatic finesse.
On the palate, it unfolds with earthy and lightly sweet beetroot flavors, complemented by the aromatic spice of lovage. The result is a surprising yet harmonious combination — warm, rich, and refreshing at once. The finish is smooth and lingering, with a gentle balance of sweetness and spice that leaves a pleasant warmth.
The aroma reveals notes of fresh beetroot, dried herbs, and delicate spices, evoking the scents of a countryside garden — natural, vibrant, and slightly nostalgic.
Serve well-chilled as an aperitif or digestif, or pair it with traditional Lithuanian snacks such as smoked meats, pickled vegetables, or 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.
