More Than a Spirit

DRINK OF THE PEOPLE

Rakija is a homemade tradition, with families across the Balkans often having their own recipes passed down through generations

About The Rakija

Mashing

At Tasev Distillery, we begin our tradition by meticulously mashing only the finest, hand-picked grapes to create the perfect base for our spirits.

Fermenting

In the quiet of our vats, the fruit’s natural sugars transform into a vibrant spirit, patiently developing its character and aroma.

Distillery

Guided by the expertise of our master distillers, the spirit is carefully heated and purified, capturing only the most perfect and aromatic essence.

Aging

Patience is our final ingredient, as the spirit rests quietly in oak barrels, where time and wood marry to create a perfectly smooth, rich, and golden flavor.
