KONTABAS Authentic 38% Vol. 0,7l

KONTABAS Authentic is an authentic brandy deeply rooted in Ukrainian history, based on an old recipe from the Pelekh brothers. Presented in a 0.7-liter bottle with an alcohol content of 38% vol., this blackcurrant schnapps transports the connoisseur back to the 16th century. Back then, Ukrainians enjoyed exclusive and handmade drinks that could compete with the best whiskeys and cognacs in terms of taste and quality.

Kontabas Authentic impresses with its intense taste and rich bouquet, reminiscent of a bygone era. The base of this unique drink consists of prepared drinking water, grain distillate and blackcurrant buds, which gives it a fruity freshness and a remarkable spiciness. The blackcurrant takes center stage and develops a light acidity and sweet fruitiness that harmonize perfectly with the deep complexity of the distillate.

This schnapps is a true representative of Ukrainian tradition and is ideal as an aperitif or digestif. It is a delight for all those who appreciate the art of traditional Ukrainian distilling and are looking for an unmistakable taste experience.
