Kenyan Coffee Schnapps
This is not a coffee liqueur – it's merely a distant mirage of one. At Pakruojis Manor Distillery, we reimagined this folkloric table drink with the help of the uncompromising coffee experts from Huracan, who carefully selected heritage Arabica beans first brought to Kenya’s shores by French missionaries in 1893. The result of two creators united in their search for purity of flavor: a masterfully crafted spirit with an intensely pronounced profile of berry-forward notes and the creamy richness of cocoa ice cream. We invite you to reconsider everything you know about coffee drinks.
This spirit received silver and bronze medals at the Berlin Craft Spirits Awards 2020.
Ingredients: drinking water, grain rectified ethyl alcohol, coffee beans (9%), unrefined cane sugar.
Storage conditions: 10°C to 25°C. Natural sediment may occur over time.
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.

Heritage and uniqueness
The distillery was born from the centuries-old traditions of Pakruojis Manor, which date back to the 18th century. Ancient recipes, passed down through generations, are today reborn through the art of craft distillation. The authentic setting and carefully restored processes unite past and present, creating spirits that reflect both Lithuania’s heritage and the spirit of the contemporary craft movement.
