The story behind Jelinek
Cordials cover a wide field, from bittersweet herbal digestifs to fruit brandies taken neat after dinner. Jelinek Fernet sits in the bitter herbal camp, a Czech style fernet built on botanicals with a firm, earthy bite. Slivovitz is the other side of the same tradition, a plum brandy distilled from ripe fruit and usually served chilled in small glasses.
We keep both Jelinek bottles at our Commack shop, one or two at a time, so call ahead if you want one held.
