Klekovača — Serbian juniper brandy — was known as far back as the 19th century as a drink that was prescribed and drunk. XiRo Juniper Brandy is not an ethnographic exhibit but a living interpretation of that tradition: a fruit brandy base that carries the weight of juniper in a way London Dry Gin never could — more animalistic, richer, less citrusy, more forest-like.

Juniper berries, hand-picked from Serbian mountains, macerate in a neutral fruit base before the entire mixture undergoes distillation. This is not an infusion — it is true redistillation that yields a clean juniper note without harsh tannins. Perfect as a gin alternative in cocktails or neat at 12°C on summer evenings.
