Maple Blossom schnapps.
The first flavor of our Limited edition series was proposed to us by the Nature itself. One rarely stormy spring evening, blooming maple near our Distillery was stucked by lightning. One big branch of that maple was laying down on the ground and invited us to take the blossoms of maple, whcih can only be found a few days in a year. We did not hesitate for long and started our improvizations which ended in this recipe which includes four Lithuanian ingredients rarely used in food industry, but often found in the historical aphotecas recipes. This flavor was matured for more than 200 days and all of the ingredient were picked by hands in our surroundings. So this is truly limited – how many herbs we could have found, that many bottles we have made.
This flavour required more than 200 days of maceration. All the ingredients were harvested from the surrounding fields and forests, "so we have as much as we have - in very limited quantities". The handcrafted production is done in small batches of 200-300 litres. The drink is one of the most limited drinks from the Pakruojo dvaro distillery.
The drinks were awarded silver and bronze medals at the Berlin Craft Spirit 2020.

Pirmoji craft stipriųjų gėrimų darykla gimė vietoje, kur gėrimai pradėti gaminti dar XVIII amžiuje. Pakruojo dvare veikė ligoninė, vaistinė ir "apotiekoriaus" įkurta spirito varykla. Čia sukurtų receptūrų antpilai ir tinktūros buvo naudojami dvare, bei plačiai parduodami visame krašte. Būtent čia sugrąžinome ir naujam gyvenimui prikėlėme senovinius, varinius bei malkomis kūrenamus distiliavimo indus. O juos užkūrus - verčiame naują stipriųjų gėrimų gamybos puslapį Lietuvos istorijoje.
