A Brief History of Pálinka
Pálinka is a traditional fruit brandy in the Carpathian Basin, invented in the Middle Ages. The first records of the Hungarian spirit date back to the fourteenth century (1332); called Aqua vitae reginae Hungariae, it referred to the aqua vitae of the wife of the King Charles I of Hungary. This spirit was probably a brandy blended with rosemary, and had its use in medicine.
In the 19th century, breweries and pálinka distilleries operated in tandem. Distilling itself was the right of landowners, and laws were introduced to prevent peasants from making pálinka at home. The use of wheat was banned and that is how this magical fruit brandy was born.
