Oak wood from Slavonian region of Croatia is one of the three most highly regarded types of oak in the world and favoured by wine producers.
The wood is appreciated for its compact fibres, tight grain and sweet aroma, which is then imprinted in the taste of the drink.
Typically very large Slavonian oak barrels allow wines and spirits to undergo a long, slow oxidation, in the case of Šljivovica providing the subtle vanilla notes and slightly bitter bouquet paired with the amber colour of the final product.
