wild botanicals
Hand-gathered across the forests, meadows and high plateaus of Bosnia. This is what gives the Beast its bite.
Wild Juniper
Juniperus communisResinous, piney and bold, gathered from highland slopes. The backbone of the spirit and the source of its dry, brooding character.
Wild Thyme
Thymus serpyllumSun-baked mountain thyme, lending a savory, herbal warmth that lingers on the finish.
Spruce Tip
Picea abiesTender young shoots of Norway spruce, cool, green and forest-fresh, like cold air through pines.
Wild Pear
Pyrus pyrasterNative divlja kruška lends a whisper of orchard sweetness and rounds the sharper edges.
Linden Blossom
Tilia cordataHand-picked lipa flowers bring a soft, honeyed floral note prized across the Balkans.
Rosehip
Rosa caninaWild šipak adds a tart, fruity brightness and a faint blush of color to the macerate.
Bitter Orange Peel
Citrus aurantiumSun-dried peel for a clean citrus lift that cuts through the resin of the juniper.
Coriander Seed
Coriandrum sativumWarm, lemony and slightly spiced, the classic counterweight that ties everything together.

Terroir
A taste of place
Nothing here is shipped in by the tonne. Our botanicals are tied to a season and a slope, which means every batch tastes a little of the year it was made.
