Zora 3 Quince Brandy by Emperus 20 pieces of 0.05L

Character & enjoyment

Overview

Zora 3 Quince Brandy by Emperus is a three-year-aged Serbian quince brandy, matured in carefully selected oak barrels. The brandy combines the robust, tart-fruity aroma of quince with the depth of oak aging to create a balanced profile. This bottling is available in a mini format (0.05 l) – designed as a 20-piece pack for tastings, events, or gift sets.

In the Glass

Bright golden yellow – the color reflects the three years of oak aging. Clear transparency, no cloudiness; medium viscosity when swirled.

On the Nose

The bouquet initially displays fresh quince aromas – ripe quince, apple quince, and a hint of pear – complemented by gentle oak notes (vanilla, light smoke, cinnamon wood). The oak influences do not overwhelm the fruit; the aroma profile remains fruity and vibrant with a structured background.

On the Palate

Fresh and lively on the palate with distinct quince aroma. Beneath this, a soft oak structure develops, introducing vanilla and subtle spice notes. The finish is medium-short, dry, and accompanied by a pleasant woody note. The balance between fruit and barrel is well-achieved for a three-year aging period.

Serving Suggestion

Neat, lightly chilled at 16–18 °C as a digestif. On the rocks for a fresher, fruit-forward profile. As a base for Quince Sour cocktails. Pairs well with aged hard cheese, quince paste, and roasted nuts.

Serving Recommendations

• Temperature: 16–20 °C (neat) or on ice
• Glass: Tulip glass (also in miniature format)
• Packaging: 20 x 0.05 l – ideal for tasting sets

Origin

Emperus produces the Zora line as its own premium series alongside the Voždov Grumen standard line. The name Zora (Serbian: dawn) stands for an accessible style of Serbian fruit brandies with a focus on fruit clarity and moderate oak aging. Quince is a traditional distilling fruit in Serbia; three years of aging in oak marks the entry into structured brandies of this category.
