How Fruit Brandy Is Made
Neven is a name you will know about in a few years when discussing fruit brandy. His attention to detail, respect to nature, and passion for distilling is something I truly admire and respect. I am so glad I got to learn from him and even more proud to call him my friend.
➡️ Neven distilled his first fruit brandies with his father, when he was eight or nine years old. He learned to make whiskey on an ADI internship at the Cedar Ridge Distillery in Swisher Iowa and plans to open a distillery in his native Croatia.
➡️ Additional Information about the distillation process:
The distillation is a process of taking a liquid mixture that contains lots of chemicals with different boiling points, boiling the lot of them, and controlling the condensation process. The more volatile liquids will boil sooner than the less volatile liquids, so they can be preferentially captured since they will condense sooner.
➡️ What Does The Terms Mean: Foreshots? Heads? Middle cut? Feints? Tails?
A “cut” is when the output of a pot still changes from undesirable to desirable (or vice versa). When the cut is made, the liquid output from the still is literally redirected to a different receiver (container). “Heads” (also known as “foreshots”) precede the “middle cut,” which precedes the “tails” (also known as “feints”). The “heads” or “foreshots” can contain unsafe or unpalatable chemicals.
The “middle cut” is the desired output of the pot still. The “tails” or “feints” are what comes out of the still after sufficient alcohol has been extracted from the still such that the concentration in the output is no longer high enough.
➡️ Additional Information About The Term Low Wines?
This is the name given to the product of the first distillation in the pot still process of manufacture. It is the distillate derived from the wash and contains all the alcohol and secondary constituents and some water.
It forms the raw material of the second distillation, which is carried out in the Spirit Still. The feints and foreshots are added to the low wines when the spirit still is charged.

Home Made Plum Liqueur
Making Plum Liqueur at home is simple and easy. It takes very little time in the kitchen and needs to be left for a couple of months before it's ready. If made when plums are in season, mine crop in August, it will be ready for Christmas to round off an evening with friends / family or to be given as a gift.
Filtering can be done through muslin cloth.
I used a 2 litre Kilner Jar
