Želja 12 Year Old Plum Brandy, known locally simply as Želja (“Wish” in Serbian), is a premium aged rakija from Podrum Želja, a distillery based in the village of Nanomir near Mionica, Serbia — a region with a long heritage in fruit distillation and plum brandy craftsmanship. This expression represents one of the most prestigious Serbian plum brandies available.

Aged for 12 years in oak barrels, Želja 12 Y.O. develops a deep amber colour and a refined, layered character that bridges rich fruit notes with gentle wood influence. Its long maturation delivers a harmonious balance of ripe plum, subtle barrel spice and lingering warmth, making it ideal for sipping neat as an aphrodisiac drink or digestif after a rich meal.

This edition has earned official recognition as “Best Rakija in Serbia for 2024” in a national evaluation conducted by the Fruit Research Institute in Čačak, scoring highly among 84 competing Serbian plum brandies — an accomplishment that underscores its exceptional quality and craftsmanship.

Presented in an elegant gift box, Želja 12 Y.O. not only celebrates traditional Balkan rakija heritage but also stands as a statement bottle for collectors and connoisseurs alike. Its depth, smoothness and refined finish make it a standout choice for anyone looking to experience Serbia’s finest aged plum brandy.
