"Beetroot" Schnapps with Truffles
The distillery's most gastronomic, beetroot-flavoured concoction. Dzūkiški (1 of 4 Lithuania's region) borsch with boletus was the inspiration for this drink. Adapting a technique invented by Italian winemakers to produce Amarone-style wines, this drink uses slightly dried beetroot. The taste is slightly sweet, with earthy and spicy notes. And the blend of the four ingredients used in the recipe helps to bring out the aroma of the beetroot even more.
This drink won a silver medal at the American Distilling Institute awards in the USA

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.
