Rakia "Zholta" - Stara Kukja

Zholta ("yellow") is a rakia from Stara Kukja, a distillery from North Macedonia, a country with a long tradition of grape rakija.

As its name suggests, Zholta is a golden rakia: after distillation it rests in contact with wood, which gives it its yellow colour and a softer, rounder character than clear young rakia.

Expect ripe grape and dried fruit aromas with gentle wood and vanilla notes and a smooth, warming finish. Serve chilled as an aperitif with salads, cheeses and cured meats, in the Balkan tradition.
