We are pleased to present Bosiljčić Distillery, a Serbian family distillery with a long tradition of producing premium fruit brandies.

The story of the Bosiljčić family dates back to the early 19th century, when the family settled in the village of Gorjani near Užice, Serbia, and began producing rakija on their estate around 1820.

Today, the distillery continues this tradition by combining family heritage with modern distillation technology.

Their flagship products include aged plum brandies (“Šljivovica”), matured in oak barrels to achieve depth, elegance, and complexity.
