Brandy from the Balkans' largest quince orchard is finally here! After years of preparation, from planting the orchard to the first harvest, careful distillation and maturation in barrels, MIKO brandies are officially available on the market.
The initial range consists of three products:
- White Quince Brandy — The pure essence of 100% Leskovac quince fruit from the MIKO Estate. Created by fermenting quince juice, after which only the heart of the distillate is selected. Refreshing, delicate and floral, with citrus notes and familiar tones of optimally ripe fruit.
- Matured (Yellow) Quince Brandy — A harmonious balance between the authentic character of quince and the soft, golden warmth of oak, combining the freshness of the fruit with subtle notes of vanilla and honey. A blend of Leskovac and Hemus varieties, hand-picked from our quince orchard and matured for approximately one year in selected French oak.
- Plum Brandy — A harmonious blend of the indigenous Crvena Ranka variety and Lepotica, matured for five years in oak barrels. A brandy with the fine aroma of ripe plum and balanced notes of vanilla and caramel. Rounded and deep, with pronounced fullness and a long finish.
Quince brandy that begins in the orchard, not in the distillery
When it comes to quince brandy, MIKO has complete control over the entire process — from the variety and care of the trees, through the timing of the harvest, to the distillation itself. The distillery is located at the very heart of the estate, which spans almost 40 hectares, meaning the fruit neither waits nor travels — it is processed on the very same day it is harvested, while it is at optimal ripeness.
This control over the raw material and the process enables something rare in the industry: production without added sugar, artificial aromas or other flavor enhancers. The taste and aroma come exclusively from fruit that has remained on the tree until the moment of ideal ripeness.
We follow the same principles in the production of plum brandy. Although we relied on purchasing fruit for the first batch, in the meantime we have planted 5.5 hectares of plums at the MIKO Estate, which will soon be used in the production of our plum brandy.
What's next
With the products now on the market, MIKO continues to build the brand's presence through presentations at trade fairs and tastings, so that our brandies can reach as many lovers of quality drinks as possible — in Serbia and beyond.
