Ognjena 10 Year Old Plum Brandy is a refined and elegant Serbian plum rakija (šljivovica) from Ognjena Distillery, a producer known for crafting aged fruit brandies that reflect traditional Balkan methods with contemporary finesse. Rakija like this is Serbia’s national spirit — a double-distilled plum brandy made from fermented plums and often matured in oak barrels to develop complexity and depth.

This 10-year-old expression is patiently matured in oak, creating a warm amber colour and a harmonious balance between vibrant plum fruit and gentle wood-driven notes of vanilla, toasted spice and dried orchard fruit. The decade-long ageing softens the spirit’s edges while layering aromatic richness and a smooth, lingering finish — qualities that make it ideal for sipping neat at room temperature or lightly chilled.

While specific awards for the 10-year expression aren’t always listed by batch, Ognjena brandies as a whole have earned recognition in prestigious regional and international competitions. According to the distillery’s official award history, Ognjena expressions have been honoured as Champions of Quality at the Novi Sad Fair, long-term champions at the Plum Fair in Osečina, winners at fairs in Ugljevik and Gradačac (Bosnia & Herzegovina), and champions of quality at CROAGRO (Zagreb) in 2019, 2020 and 2021. They’ve also achieved a bronze medal at the International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC) 2020 in London.

Ognjena’s 10-year plum brandy represents a gateway into aged rakija that’s both accessible and refined — ideal for enthusiasts who appreciate fruit intensity married to oak maturity. Its smooth texture and layered character make it a beautiful after-dinner pour or a contemplative sipper alongside rich desserts, fine dark chocolate or aged cheeses.
