Distillation and production

Production method

In-house production at an artisanal-industrial scale tied to company equipment: use of multiple stills (4 units of 300 L), rectifying columns and equipment by Destila and Arnold Holstein. For gin, botanicals are macerated in neutral alcohol (reported as 36 hours in some sources) followed by successive distillations.

Distillation

Distillation using pot stills and rectifying columns (Destila units and Arnold Holstein columns). For OMG gin: maceration of botanicals in neutral alcohol (reported 36 hours in technical sheets) followed by multiple distillations/triple distillation; no sweetening is applied and some versions avoid cold filtration.

Ageing

Some spirits (e.g. slivovitz and pear brandy) are aged in wooden casks; the gin is not aged.

Producer history Zufanek (Žufánek)

The company ZUFANEK s.r.o. was founded in 2000 by Marcela and Josef Žufánek together with their children. Based in Boršice u Blatnice in South Moravia, it developed from the production of fruit brandies (notably slivovitz) into a broad range that includes gin, absinthe and liqueurs.

Production philosophy

Artisanal production with a focus on naturalness: products declared 100% natural, without colorants or artificial flavors. The company emphasizes its own cultivations and the use of local aromatic herbs, with part of the orchards managed under organic practices.

Territory

Boršice u Blatnice (near Uherské Hradiště), South Moravia, Czech Republic. The company’s orchards (about 15 hectares) are located at the foothills of the White Carpathians, an area suited to fruit production.
