Szilva Pálinka 0.5l - Plum Brandy

Szilva pálinka is a traditional Hungarian plum brandy made from Szatmári plums, with ripe fruit, floral lift and a lingering marzipan note on the finish.

What Is Szilva Pálinka?

Szilva means plum in Hungarian, and this elegant pálinka is made from sun-ripened Szatmári plums, selected for their concentrated orchard-fruit character. The result is fragrant and expressive, with ripe plum, soft floral aromas, gentle natural sweetness and a refined, dry finish.

Agárdi uses a carefully controlled proportion of cracked plum stones in the fermentation mash. This precise stone contact gives the spirit its delicate almond and marzipan nuance, adding depth without distracting from the pure fruit character.

Made entirely from fruit, it contains no added sugar, sweeteners, colourings or artificial flavourings: a proper Hungarian fruit brandy with nothing unnecessary added.

How to Drink Szilva Pálinka

This is a fruit-forward spirit to sip slowly and enjoy with food, dessert or good company. Its plum richness makes it especially appealing after dinner, while its floral lift keeps it lively enough for an aperitif or a thoughtfully made cocktail.

• Serve neat at 16–18°C in a tulip-shaped glass, allowing the ripe plum, floral and marzipan aromas to open gradually.
• Offer it as an after-dinner digestif with dark chocolate, toasted almonds, mature blue cheese or a warm plum-and-almond tart.
• Make a Plum Pálinka Sour by shaking it with fresh lemon juice, a little sugar syrup and optional egg white, then serving over ice.
• Drizzle a small measure over vanilla ice cream, roasted plums or a dark chocolate dessert for a grown-up finishing touch.
• Use in place of another fruit brandy in cocktails where plum, almond and gentle spice will complement the recipe.

Serving Tip

Pour a modest measure and warm the tulip glass gently between your palms for a moment before tasting. This releases more of the spirit’s ripe plum, floral and marzipan aromas without warming it excessively.

Where Does It Come From?

Our Szilva Pálinka is made by Agárdi Pálinka, an artisan distillery on the shores of Lake Velence in Hungary. The distillery works with carefully selected, hand-picked fruit and traditional methods to create characterful, small-batch spirits.

Each 500ml bottle requires approximately 8–10kg of ripe fruit. The finished pálinka is bottled in limited quantities and individually numbered, reflecting the care given to every stage from orchard to bottle.

A Distinctive Gift or Tasting Bottle

Its expressive plum character, individually numbered bottling and elegant presentation make Szilva Pálinka a thoughtful choice for anyone who enjoys premium fruit spirits, brandy or discovering authentic European drinks.

For a complete present or a proper at-home tasting, pair it with our pálinka glasses in a gift box.
