About the procuct
Zamoyski Brandy SPECIAL V.S.O.P. has been created in exceptional 7-stage distillation of selected young wine varieties – Green Veltliner and Rizling. Young wine of these varieties is characterised by its distinctive taste and aroma. The wine is light and fresh, which significantly affects the aroma and taste of the distillate.
The product matures for at least 8 years in 300 litre barrels made of European Oak (Quercus Robur), which has grown at an altitude of 800 m above sea level.
To achieve the uniqueness of the distillate, levelling takes place in wooden vats made of French Oak.
Another attribute is the effect of open storage space, in which the year round temperature ranges from -25°C up to + 25°C. Barrels, at different temperatures, impart different intensities of flavours and aromas to the brandy, which further enriches the brandy taste itself.
To achieve the purity of the brandy from a physical -chemical point of view, a unique filtration equipment is used, which is a strictly protected company secret.
Only 100% natural raw ingredients were used for the production of Zamoyski Brandy SPECIAL V.S.O.P.
Brandy offers the aroma of raisins and vanilla, and a soft smoothness with a fresh fruity whiff.
Andrzej Przemysław Zamoyski
The aristocratic family of Zamoyski were the last owners of the Ľubovňa castle.
Andrzej Przemyslaw Zamoyski was astonished by the nature of Northern Spiš region with its unique water resources flowing out from the heart of the High Tatras mountains.
In 1882, he decided to buy the castle dominion together with the nearby spa Vyšné Ružbachy. Two years later in Paris, Andrzej married Carolina de Bourbon, titled as „The Princess of Two Sicilies“. Out of the love for her husband she agreed to move and to live in the Spiš region. Together with a wealthy dowry she brought to the Ľubovňa castle the new alcohol distillation trend, and the new and yet unknown beverage – brandy.
It´s been said that wine imported to the castle dominion from the princess´ homeland encouraged local people to make distillate out of it, trying to imitate noble brandy of royal taste and aroma. With its exceptional qualities this brandy acquired a respectable place on the castle table during all major negotiations and celebrations.
Following the rich history it is our honour to inherit and hand down the distilling tradition from generation to generation. Zamoyski brandy is a part of it!
