Unicum Riserva is the first herb liqueur to enter the super premium category, setting it apart from all other spirits. What makes Unicum Riserva truly unique is its double aging process, where it matures in two distinct and special casks.
The journey begins with the original Unicum, which is first aged in the largest and oldest cask in the distillery, a cask that has been part of the Zwack family’s cellars for over 85 years. Over decades of use, the wood has developed a rich coating of what is known as „black honey”, which imparts additional depth and character to the Unicum, making it even more complex and full-bodied.
In the second phase of aging, Unicum Riserva is transferred to casks from Izabella Zwack’s Dobogó Winery, where it encounters the refined complexity of Tokaji wine. This lends Unicum Riserva its signature balance: the familiar bittersweet taste of Unicum is softened and complemented by the mellower, fruity notes of Tokaji, along with subtle hints of dried apricots.
We recommend enjoying Unicum Riserva on ice.
