From the Plum Brandy Masters, a Plum Vodka
Nobody knows plums like R. Jelinek — the Vizovice distillery has spent 130 years on slivovitz, grown in its own orchards. Bohemia Plum takes that expertise sideways: a clean grain vodka infused with natural plum flavor, lightly, so the fruit reads as an undertone rather than a candy coating. The official copy calls it "pure and simple yet quite elegant," and that's the right register — this is a vodka for people who find most flavored vodkas too loud. Explore the full R. Jelinek range and more Czech spirits from the slivovitz masters.
Tasting Notes
Subtle plum bouquet over clean grain spirit. The palate is exceptionally smooth with gentle plum undertones — fruity without sweetness, elegant rather than bold. The finish is clean and soft.
How to Enjoy
The brand suggests serving over ice or chilled as a perfect martini — the plum undertones add dimension to a Vodka Martini without hijacking it. It also works in a simple highball with soda and a plum or lemon twist.
