Lunin Plum Horilka

Lunin Plum Horilka represents the modern revival of Ukrainian horilka tradition, blending centuries-old Slavic distilling heritage with contemporary fruit infusion techniques. Horilka, derived from the Ukrainian word meaning 'to burn,' has deep roots in the grain-growing regions of Eastern Europe. The Lunin Distillery, based in Ukraine, crafts this plum-infused expression by steeping ripe plums into their base horilka, creating a spirit that honors traditional methods while appealing to contemporary palates. The infusion process yields subtle layers of sweet, soft fruit balanced by hints of bitter almond, creating a complex profile that transcends simple flavored vodka. The distillery recommends pairing this spirit with Asian cuisine, chocolate, and prunes, positioning it as a versatile digestif and cocktail ingredient. This expression exemplifies the growing international recognition of Ukrainian spirits beyond their historical reputation, establishing Lunin as a producer of quality craft horilka.

Produced from fermented grain base using traditional Ukrainian distillation methods. The plum infusion is achieved through maceration of ripe plums in the base spirit, extracting natural fruit flavors and subtle tannins. Standard filtration applied post-infusion to achieve clarity while preserving the delicate fruit character. Water sourced locally in Ukraine contributes to the spirit's regional character.
