About this product
The Soul of Hungary, Ripened with Plum.
From the historic cellars of Budapest comes Unicum Szilva, a remarkable evolution of the legendary Hungarian herbal liqueur. It carries the same mysterious blend of over 40 herbs and spices as the original Unicum Zwack, but this time it’s aged on Hungarian plums, adding a lush, fruity dimension to its famous bittersweet depth.
The result is a drink that bridges heritage and indulgence — dark, velvety, and alive with juicy plum notes that soften the edges of its herbal core. Every sip feels like a walk through an autumn orchard at dusk, where ripe fruit meets the earthy scent of oak and spice.
In Ireland, where adventurous drinkers are exploring the world’s most distinctive spirits, Unicum Szilva has found a home among those who love a rich, sophisticated after-dinner drink — something unexpected, with a story that stretches back centuries.
Why we love it:
We love Unicum Szilva because it keeps the powerful character of Unicum but adds a generous touch of sweetness and warmth from ripe plums. It’s elegant, bold, and wonderfully smooth — a bittersweet liqueur that pleases both the curious and the connoisseur.
Country of origin
Hungary
Tasting notes
Colour
Deep amber with ruby reflections and a luscious, jewel-like sheen.
Nose
Aromas of candied plum, herbs, and orange peel unfold over a base of oak, spice, and caramel.
Palate
Rounded and full-bodied, with notes of stewed plums, bitter orange, clove, and gentian root. The plum sweetness softens the herbal edge, leading to a lingering, warming finish of dried fruit and spice.
Serving suggestion
Enjoy neat and chilled as a refined digestif, or over ice to let the plum sweetness unfold slowly. For a lighter touch, try it with soda and a slice of orange — simple, balanced, and refreshingly different.

About the producer
The Zwack family has been crafting Unicum since 1790, protecting their secret herbal recipe through centuries of change. After returning from exile, they revived their beloved distillery in Budapest, blending innovation with tradition. Unicum Szilva is a celebration of that spirit — an evolution born of heritage, fruit, and passion.
