Unicum - Import

UNICUM – The Secret of a 200-Year-Old Recipe

This legendary bitter liqueur is the national drink of Hungary and the most popular Hungarian brand, of which they are particularly proud. 

The secret recipe for this bitter liqueur with over 40 herbs was developed as a digestive, by court physician dr. Zwack, for Habsburg Emperor Joseph II. When the Emperor tasted it in 1790, he simply exclaimed:

Doctor Zwack, this is truly Unicum!

UNICUM HERBAL

Original bitter liqueur with more than 40 herbs and spices of premium quality, also recognizable by the unique shape of the bottle. Every Unicum has aged six months in oak barrels. It is consumed as pure as a short drink in a chilled glass or with beer.

UNICUM SZLIVA

The secret of the magnificent taste of this liqueur, besides the traditional Unicum recipe - is aging on dry plums in oak barrels. In preparation for this unique combination, superb plums are carefully picked and gently dried, in order to keep their distinctive bouquet, which they will hand over liqueur during aging. It is consumed neat, as a short drink, in summer cocktails, or during winter in mulled wine.

UNICUM RISERVA

This super-premium liqueur is aged in two types of oak barrels over 80 years old from the Zwack family's winery, the creators of Unicum. The interaction between Unicum and this oak has, over decades, formed a unique layer known as 'black honey,' giving the drink a silky and complex flavor. Additional aging in another type of barrel refines and softens its taste. It is best enjoyed over ice or in cocktails.

UNICUM BARISTA

A new creation from the renowned Zwack distillery. By innovatively blending two traditions, Unicum Barista was born—a herbal liqueur with Arabica coffee extract that gains its final character from aging in oak barrels. Shake it with ice for a completely new experience!
