Think you can handle a Palinka tasting? Forget the fancy wine tasting and drink like the Hungarians :-) ! Try Hungary's "deadly fruit brandy" / "Hungarain whiskey" ; the national drink, and you'll understand why they say it "medicine in small portion, remedy in a larger one"
Pálinka is a traditional fruit spirit (or fruit brandy) with origins in the medieval Kingdom of Hungary, known under several names. Protected as a geographical indication of the European Union, only fruit spirits mashed, distilled, matured and bottled in Hungary. While pálinka may be made of any locally grown fruit, the most common ones are plums, apricots, apples, pears, and cherries.
A similar product exists in the Czech Republic and Slovakia where it is known as pálenka, and in Romania (Transylvania), Italy, and Greece under the name palincă. In Turkey it is known as Boğma.
