Epulon
Pelinkovac "Epulon" is named after Epulon, king of Hystra, who fiercely defended the freedom of his people against the supremacy of the army of ancient Rome, and when there was no way out, rather killed himself with his own sword rather than agree to slavery. Epulon is the spirit of freedom dissolved in a glass, and it is drunk for the fullness of life worth fighting for. The aroma is dominated by wormwood, followed by vanilla, caramel and citrus notes. The harsh bitterness of wormwood is finely balanced with soothing notes of citrus, anise, vanilla and caramel. It ends with an intriguingly unexplained, bittersweet and lingering aftertaste. The recommended serving temperature is 8-10 °C. It is served chilled and neat or with ice, with orange or lemon zest. It goes well in combination with dried fruit or as a digestif after a large meal.
