Stara Pesma Pear Rakija with Pear Inside is a traditional Serbian viljamovka (Williams pear brandy) presented in one of the most iconic Balkan styles — with a whole pear naturally grown inside the bottle.

The name Stara Pesma translates to “Old Song”, reflecting heritage and the timeless ritual of fruit distillation passed down through generations. The pear inside the bottle is not placed after production — it is grown inside the glass while still on the tree, a delicate process requiring precision and patience.

Crafted from ripe Williams (Bartlett) pears, this rakija is double distilled in copper stills to preserve the fruit’s intense natural aromatics. Unlike heavier oak-aged styles, this expression focuses on pure orchard character.

In the glass, expect bright aromas of fresh pear, subtle floral notes and soft stone fruit sweetness. The palate is smooth and fruit-forward with a clean, elegant finish that makes it approachable yet refined.

Pear rakija (viljamovka) is traditionally enjoyed:

• Lightly chilled or at room temperature

• As an aperitif or digestif

• Served to guests as a sign of respect and craftsmanship

The pear inside the bottle makes this a standout gift piece — visually striking while remaining true to Balkan distillation traditions.
