Imagine a special spirit that's not just tasty but also helps the environment. That's what Jozsef Stevlik is all about!

Jozsef Stevlik is a brand that makes spirits with a lot of care. Behind the idea is the founder, a renowned entrepreneur Dusan Stevlik. It all started when young Dusan was traveling with his Grandpa on the legendary Orient Express Train Route between the cities of Bratislava and Budapest. This route was a prohibited smuggling path across Eastern Europe, extending from the northern Baltic Sea, passing through the Balkans, and concluding in Constantinople, present-day Istanbul.

Jozsef Stevlik, Dusan's Grandpa, was a renowned plum spirit maker who traded in a unique and premium-quality single plum spirit known as 'slivovitz,' an old Yiddish term for plum spirit. After successful deals, he would open his own flask, sharing his concoction with fellow train passengers while engaging in discussions about life and experiences.

Inspired by these captivating stories, Dusan crafted his first handcrafted small batch in 2018. This creation garnered significant recognition, securing 14 silver medals at competitions such as our London Spirits Competitions, the Bartender Spirits Awards, and USA Spirits Ratings in 2021.

These narratives laid the foundation for the development of exceptional spirits that blend traditional and innovative ideas, making Jozsef Stevlik a multi-award-winning brand. These stories led to the creation of amazing spirits that mix traditional and new ideas for this multi-award-winning brand.

The best part about Dusan’s Fruity Spirits is that this special Eau de vie & Barrique Vintage Edition is made from 100% Blue Damson Plum, a special fruit from a place called the Carpathian Region, which makes the drink more like a taste of the countryside and the good things there, just like an experience.

It's super exclusive, depending on how many plums are grown that year. Each bottle is marked with the year it was made, a batch number, and a unique bottle number. This makes it a really fancy and unique item for your collection, perfect for impressing important guests.

It naturally comes from the fact that Jozsef Stevlik’s best man, Dusan, loves to travel, and that love shows up in his drinks. He worked with bartenders from different parts of the world to make drinks that are not just tasty but also good for the environment.

Dusan cares about nature. For every box of Jozsef Stevlik drinks sold, a tree is saved in the Carpathian Region. Also, every time someone enjoys a Jozsef Stevlik cocktail, they're helping protect forests from being cut down. With each drink you make with Jozsef Stevlik, you're helping save trees in the Carpathian Region.
