Unicum is a legendary liqueur—the national drink of Hungary. This unique herb liqueur, based on a secret family recipe and distilled from over forty different herbs and spices, was originally conceived as an aid to digestion at the royal court of Austria Hungary in 1790 but over the centuries it has become a drink for any time of day, either as a shot or warmed by the hand in a cognac glass or enjoyed chilled. In the Zwack family distillery in Budapest, Unicum is aged in large oak casks before being bottled in the distinctive round bottle that has been a hallmark of this historic brand for nearly two hundred years. Still in family hands after six generations, Unicum in Hungary is not just a drink but a national treasure.

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Zwack

It was in 1790 that Doctor Zwack, Royal Physician to the Imperial Court, offered the Habsburg monarch a sip of Unicum as a remedy for indigestion.

Legend would have it that the royal comment was:
‘Dr. Zwack, das ist ein Unikum!’ ("Dr. Zwack, that is unique" in German) giving this herb liqueur its name.

The fame and popularity of Unicum was gradually to spread far beyond the Court in Vienna.
