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.
