An exceptional creation from the Pakruojis Manor Distillery, revealing the depth of Lithuania’s fruit and herbal traditions. This liqueur is crafted from quince, tansy, and melilot – plants long valued for their aromatic and healing properties.
It offers a subtle balance between the tartness of quince, the sweetness of honey, and the gentle bitterness of herbs. Each sip unfolds new layers – from the freshness of pressed quince to the warming spice of wild botanicals. The aroma combines citrus, honeyed, and herbal notes, creating a rich and multi-dimensional impression.
The liqueur embodies a natural and authentic character, perfectly reflecting the Pakruojis Manor philosophy – drawing inspiration from nature and history. “Quince with Tansy and Melilot” can be enjoyed neat as a digestif, or used in cocktails and dessert sauces for a distinctive and expressive flavour.
A handcrafted Lithuanian liqueur, it unites tradition, the art of herbal craft, and a contemporary taste, created for those who appreciate authenticity and nature’s essence.
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.
