Jelinek Single Barrel Fernet Heaven Hill Finish Liqueur\u003c\/strong\u003e is a single-barrel Czech fernet from R. Jelínek of Vizovice in Moravia, the family distillery famous for slivovitz since 1894. It is crafted from a secret blend of 14 herbs and roots, then matured six months in a single ex-Heaven Hill bourbon barrel — this bottling is Barrel No. 3, per its label — and bottled at 38% ABV (76 proof) in a 700mL bottle. The bourbon barrel rounds the fernet's bold bitterness with vanilla, caramel and oak, making it one of the most approachable — and most collectible — Czech fernets to reach the US. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 76 proof (38% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarrel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single barrel No. 3 — ex-Heaven Hill bourbon barrel, matured 6 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanicals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Secret blend of 14 herbs and roots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rudolf Jelínek Distillery, Vizovice, Czech Republic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Moravian Fernet, Finished in Kentucky Oak\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRudolf Jelínek has distilled in Vizovice since 1894, in a Moravian town with a distilling tradition far older than the company. Its fernet follows the classic Central European template — a closely guarded recipe of 14 herbs and roots — but this single-barrel edition takes a detour through Kentucky: six months in a barrel that held Heaven Hill bourbon softens the bitter edge and layers American oak sweetness over the herbal core.
