The Scots have their rich, smoky whisky, and the Mexicans have their distinctive mezcal — so why shouldn’t Lithuania have its own uniquely smoky spirit?
Our smoking technique strikes a perfect balance: it’s less medicinal than Islay whisky and softer than mezcal’s peppery smoke, resulting in what many describe as “liquid smoked bacon in a glass.”
Enjoy it as a bold, warming shot, or mix it with ginger beer for a surprising and delicious twist — somewhere between Scotland, Mexico, and Lithuania. It also makes a distinctive addition to cocktails that call for a touch of smokiness and depth.
Ingredients: drinking water, grain rectified ethyl alcohol, red pepper extract, dried red peppers, flavouring.
Storage conditions: 10°C to 25°C. Natural sediment may occur during storage.
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.
Style
Pakruojis Manor spirits stand out for their unique character, combining ancestral recipes with modern craft philosophy.
Infusions – subtly aromatic, revealing nuances of local herbs and fruits.
Tinctures – intense and full-bodied, with expressive notes of spices and medicinal plants.
Distillates – elegant and refined, highlighting the purity and depth imparted by copper stills.
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.
