Antique Pelinkovac is Badel's oldest and most famous premium herbal liqueur and also one of the most fascinating Croatian drinks.It was created by Franjo Pokorny, a master distiller, tradesman, chemist and founder of the company Pokorny, one of the predecessors of Badel 1862.

The original recipe for Antique Pelinkovac includes 40+ aromatic authentic Mediterranean herbs and 100% natural ingredients. No artificial aromas, no preservatives, no taste amplifiers, no compromise.The flavour of this premium herbal liqueur is dominated by wormwood, an aromatic herb characterized by its scent and bitter note and known for the beneficial effect on the human body.

Each batch of opulent Antique macerate is carefully aged in oak barrels for at least 5 weeks. After it has matured perfectly and achieved its distinctive hue, it is carefully bottled, thus becoming a true Croatian craft product. From 1921 onwards, the unique and timeless Antique flavour is further enriched by the authentic copper still. It currently contains crystallized herbal residue from over 100 years of production that you can taste in every Antique bottle.
