A Distinguished Serbian Rakija from Fenek Monastery

Manastir Fenek Karađorđev Konak Šljiva represents the craftsmanship and heritage of traditional Serbian plum brandy.

Produced by Manastir Fenek, a Serbian Orthodox monastery located in Jakovo near Belgrade, this premium šljivovica brings together carefully selected fruit, traditional distilling expertise and extended maturation in French oak.

Made exclusively from the renowned Čačanska Lepotica plum variety, Karađorđev Konak offers an elegant expression of Serbian rakija with exceptional depth and character.

Six Years of Ageing in French Oak

What distinguishes Karađorđev Konak Šljiva is its extended maturation.

According to the monastery's official specification, this rakija spends six years ageing in French oak barrique barrels.

During maturation, the interaction between plum distillate and oak develops additional complexity, complementing the spirit's natural fruit aromas with refined woody notes and a fuller, more rounded character.

The result is a sophisticated aged plum brandy that rewards slow, considered enjoyment.

Made from 100% Čačanska Lepotica Plums

Čačanska Lepotica is a recognised Serbian plum variety valued for its suitability in traditional fruit brandy production.

Rather than blending multiple plum varieties, Manastir Fenek uses 100% Čačanska Lepotica for Karađorđev Konak Šljiva, allowing the variety's distinctive fruit character to remain central to the finished spirit.

The combination of carefully selected plums and French oak maturation creates a balance between fruit intensity, structure and elegance.

How to Enjoy Karađorđev Konak Šljiva
