Darna Pelinkovac Bitter Herbal Liqueur, Bulgarian 750ml (25.4fl oz)
Darna Pelinkovac — a Croatian bitter wormwood liqueur from Darna in Rovinj, Istria, sitting in the broader Croatian pelinkovac tradition. Wormwood-bitter, gently sweet, complex; the Istrian household digestif.
Heritage: Pelinkovac — from pelin (wormwood) — is one of Croatia's most distinctive herbal liqueurs, traditionally infused with wormwood and a botanical mix for a bittersweet profile. The category sits in the broader European bitter-liqueur tradition (alongside German Jägermeister, Italian Amaro, Czech Becherovka). Darna's Istrian interpretation bottles pelinkovac at full traditional strength, drawing on the brand's Rovinj heritage since 1925.
Tasting notes: Deep mahogany color. Pronounced wormwood and botanical complexity on the nose with a hint of dried herbs and citrus peel. Bittersweet palate; warming herbal finish.
Pairing: Serve at room temperature, neat or over ice, with a slice of orange or lemon. Excellent after a heavy meal as a digestif, alongside dark chocolate, or with espresso.
Pack: 750ml glass bottle. Store upright in a cool, dark place.
