The label notifies us that it takes a full 6.5 kg of fresh plums to make each bottle of Zwack Slivovitz — which ought to be an awe-inspiring notion for most anyone. Anyway, certainly don’t be too shy to include an ice cube or two when you sip at this product, as it is plenty strong in both flavor and volatility. Maybe even store this one in the freezer for the inevitable l’chaims. On that note, this is a much more characterful alternative to vodka for l’chaims. The palate offers surprisingly vibrant flavors of plums and a very silky texture, followed by a hefty finish. A great product to have around.
