Orchard and distillery
on-site
On a 39-hectare family estate in the Župa Aleksandrovačka region, MIKO lives at the crossroads of quinces and plums.
Driven by our respect for the nature we come from, as a mindful distillery we nurture sustainable production principles – we take from the land, create with it, and care for it.
We believe that nature always has the best recipe – and with experience and knowledge, we turn it into a brandy that preserves the pure essence of the fruit.
PURE FRUIT BRANDY
Rakija in the Balkans. Eau-de-vie in France. Edelbrand in Germany. Different names. Same fruit essence.
ČISTA = PURE. From fruit to bottle, MIKO rakija reflects the pure nature it comes from and the solar energy that powers its distillation. Crafted on-site using our own quinces and plums, aiming to preserve the full flavor of the sunripened fruit.

Golden Gifts of Life
Nature nurtures us we return the favor
