BB Klekovača Juniper Rakija is a traditional Balkan fruit brandy infused with juniper berries (known as kleka), creating a distinctive herbal spirit that sits somewhere between classic rakija and botanical gin. Originating from Serbia and surrounding regions, klekovača has long been valued for its bold aroma, warming character and unique flavour profile.

Produced using a base of high-quality fruit distillate, this rakija is carefully infused with wild juniper berries, resulting in a spirit that delivers layered notes of pine, spice and subtle fruit sweetness. Unlike gin, which is typically neutral spirit-based, klekovača retains the depth and body of traditional rakija, giving it a richer mouthfeel and more authentic fruit-driven backbone.

On the palate, BB Klekovača offers an aromatic burst of juniper, followed by soft fruit undertones and a clean, slightly peppery finish. It can be enjoyed neat at room temperature, lightly chilled, or even as a unique alternative in cocktails where gin would normally be used.

This style of rakija is especially popular as an aperitif, known for stimulating the palate before meals, and pairs well with cured meats, cheeses and hearty Balkan dishes. Its bold, recognisable profile also makes it a great conversation starter and a premium gift option for spirit enthusiasts.

As rakija continues to grow in popularity in Australia, expressions like BB Klekovača are helping redefine the category - showcasing the diversity of Balkan spirits beyond traditional plum or pear brandies.
