Yebiga Kleka Serbian Gin
Yebiga Kleka is a sophisticated fusion of Balkan tradition and modern botanical artistry. Unlike standard grain-based gins, this spirit begins with a base of premium plum distillate, offering a velvety texture and a natural fruity depth that provides a sturdy foundation for its aromatic profile. The character of the spirit is defined by the infusion of wild juniper berries, known as kleka in Serbia, sourced from the high-altitude slopes of the Tara Mountains. This unique terroir imparts a resinous, crisp intensity that is far more concentrated than lowland varieties.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Crystal clear with a slight, oily viscosity that coats the glass.
- Aroma: An immediate burst of wild juniper and pine needles, followed by subtle, sweet undertones of ripe stone fruit and white pepper.
- Palate: The entry is smooth and surprisingly creamy. The plum base provides a delicate sweetness that balances the aggressive, earthy spice of the mountain juniper. Mid-palate notes include hints of coriander, citrus peel, and a touch of alpine herbs.
- Finish: Long and warming, with a lingering dryness. The pine-forward juniper remains prominent, finishing with a clean, slightly floral whisper of plum skin.
Serving Suggestion
This gin excels in a classic Martini where its complex base can truly shine. For a refreshing long drink, pair it with a premium tonic water and garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary or a thin slice of plum to highlight its unique heritage.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
