Unveil the exquisite clarity and unique flavour profile of Tarie Bihor Plum Vodka, a premium spirit that stands as a testament to Romanian distillation artistry and authentic fruit infusion. This 500ml bottle, presented at a versatile 37.5% alcohol by volume, promises a truly distinctive drinking experience for connoisseurs across New Zealand.
Tarie Bihor, originating from the Bihor region of Romania, is part of a rich tradition of fruit brandy (or țuică and rachiu in Romania) production, where spirits are crafted from locally grown fruits. This Plum Vodka (often a fruit distillate or a vodka infused with fruit essence) is meticulously crafted from ripe plums, capturing their sweet, aromatic essence to create a truly inviting spirit. The emphasis is on natural fruit flavour and a smooth, clean distillation, reflecting centuries of tradition in Eastern European fruit spirits.
On the nose, Tarie Bihor Plum Vodka offers an incredibly inviting and subtly sweet aroma of ripe, juicy plums, reminiscent of plum jam or a fresh orchard, with delicate earthy and almond undertones (from the plum pits). The palate is defined by its remarkable smoothness and a clean, crisp taste that glides effortlessly. It delivers a harmonious interplay of the plum's natural sweetness and a refreshing, gentle tartness, perfectly balanced by the spirit's inherent purity. The finish is remarkably clean, warming, and long-lasting, leaving a sophisticated impression of its unique fruit character without any artificiality.
Tarie Bihor Plum Vodka is exceptionally versatile. It is ideally enjoyed neat, chilled, as a sophisticated digestif after a meal, particularly during New Zealand's cooler winter evenings when a warming and flavourful spirit is welcomed. It also serves as an intriguing base for crafting unique cocktails, lending a distinctive fruit character to your creations. Consider it in a "Plum Sour," mixed with ginger ale, or simply mixed with soda water and a slice of fresh plum for a refreshing, simple serve. It also excels when drizzled over ice cream, fruit salads, or used in baking to impart a rich, aromatic plum flavour to tarts or cakes.
