Looking for delicious Plum Brandy that is suitable for Passover?
Yebiga Rakija is a premium, yet traditional Serbian fruit brandy crafted with centuries of Balkan distilling prowess at heart, honoring passed-down knowledge, the bounty of the land, the plum juice from the harvest, and the culture of the Serbian people. Yebiga is the first quality rakija brought to the United States by founder and importer Bill Gould, who on his many tours in the Balkans, fell in love with the spirit and realized rakija was overwhelmingly unknown in the U.S. market. Yebiga Rakija arrived stateside in 2019 as one of the first, old-world, premium handcrafted rakija brands to ever be exported out of the Balkans. Yebiga is one of those spirits that not many people know about but that has shaped the culture of a whole part of the world for the past 800 years.
Yebiga’s philosophy as a company is to honor and respect the old-world tradition of producing the iconic, traditional fruit brandy of the region. Yebiga’s labels retain Serbian-Croatian names, a sense of humor, and a stalwart refusal to compromise on quality and ingredients. Yebiga has brought the real taste of the Balkans to the U.S. with two rakijas on the market – PRVA & BELA:
- PRVA (SRP $38.99) – Yebiga’s first expression to come stateside is a style that favors the Serbian methods of starting with fresh, ripe plums domestic to the region, hand-plucked and barrel-aged for 18 months.
- BELA (SRP $29.99) – Yebiga’s youngest expression. This rakija is lighter, free of color, and finished in stainless steel. BELA is smooth, delicious, and rustic, perfect for everyday occasions and cocktail experimentation.
