Official World Slivovitz Library

Slivovitz comes.  Slivovitz goes.  Distillers quit distilling.  Importers stop importing. Sometimes the Feds embargo the entire shipment for obscure reasons.  Distributors don't distribute.  We maintain the Library to help train new judges understand what we mean when we say that it 'had a bite like the old Brand X', because we bought the last available bottles before the Feds cleared them from the shelf.

Being a Slivovitz Judge requires an excellent memory.  A Master Slivovitz Judge can identify a plum brandy years after trying it once, and can do all kinds of slivoninja tricks.  It takes years of dedicated sipping to turn an ISDA  JourneyJudge into a Master Slivovitz Judge.  To help, we maintain a comprehensive library of brands and styles of slivovitz at our headquarters, and another duplicate library at a secure facility near Duluth, Minnesota. 

We have made it our mission to assemble the world's most complete collection of Slivovitz.  If you know of a brand that isn't represented in the library, let us know.  (we've done some of the sorting for you...)

Here's the alphabetical listing of every brand that we've tried or know about.  If a brand isn't here, drop me an email.  I'm Bill, and my email comes to me at slivovitz.us. 

NOTICE: Serbian Slivovitz Alert!  According to the Serbian Ministry of Agriculture, almost half of all Serbian Slivovitz tested is not made from plums.  Serbian Slivovitz is made from corn or molasses with artificial colors and flavoring added.
