Product description
The production process of KING is somewhat like that of French cognac, but the main ingredient
is not grapes, but plums, the native one – trnovača. KING is made from PRUVIN plum wine,
obtained by blending wine from three plum varieties – trnovača, crvena ranka and požegača
wine. The all the plums are processed by hand. The pit was removed manually to prevent a small
part of the pit from remaining in the wine mash when the pips were mechanically removed,
which would increase the value of hydrocyanic acid (a poison to humans).
The white wine-making procedure was used, in which the unfermented wine is separated
immediately after pressing from the solid part of the grapes, here from the solid part of the plum
The wine thus obtained must be controlled day by day (almost hour by hour) and when the time
comes (because it cannot be sulphated) it must go immediately to distillation.
The first distillation, conducted in a copper boiler, produces a soft wine distillate with an
alcoholic strength of up to 30.0% vol. This wine distillate is subjected to a second distillation by
fractional distillation (all substances harmful to human health are separated) and a pure wine
distillate with an alcoholic strength of over 74.0% vol is obtained. As such, it is aged in 220 liter
oak barrels.
The ageing period in an oak barrel (must be from the Kosjerić area) should be at least 3 years.
The distillate is then gradually diluted to the right strength. It was proven that at an alcoholic
strength of 40.0% vol KING gives the best aromatics, as well as the bouquet and it is completely
“rounded.”
More than 3,000 samples of wine and as many distillates were produced until the best result was
achieved, and the best result is the KING itself – a unique and fiery drink. Due to the complexity
and precision of production, KING is produced in small and limited editions. Such a premium
product needed to be packaged in a crystal bottle with two crystal glasses to ensure maximum
enjoyment.
Smell - a rich and refined aroma of plum mixed with the smell of oak barrel.
Taste - harmonious with a long aftertaste of pure oak
Flavor - very pleasant, vanilla
Bouquet - superbly rounded, harmonious
This marvelous brandy, which deservedly bears its royal name, owes its quality to the
exceptional climate in which the plums are grown, at an altitude of 500-900 meters.
