Zwack Unicum Herbal Liqueur

Zwack Unicum is one of Europe’s most iconic herbal liqueurs, with a history dating back to 1790 when it was first created for the Habsburg imperial court. Produced in Hungary using a closely guarded recipe of more than forty herbs and spices, Unicum occupies a distinctive space between amaro and medicinal bitters, delivering a bold, deeply aromatic profile that is unmistakably its own.

On the palate, Unicum is intensely herbal and bittersweet, with layers of gentian, wormwood, citrus peel, and warm baking spices unfolding over a dark, resinous core. The texture is rich and mouth-coating, with a lingering, savory bitterness that makes it equally compelling as a digestif or a bracing aperitif. Its assertive character appeals to fans of classic European amaros and complex botanical spirits.

Cask Program & Maturation
After distillation, Zwack Unicum is traditionally aged in large oak casks, where it undergoes slow integration and mellowing. This maturation softens the sharper botanical edges while allowing deeper earthy, woody, and spice tones to emerge. The use of oak is central to Unicum’s structure, adding roundness and depth to what would otherwise be a sharply bitter herbal spirit, and giving it a balance that has defined the brand for over two centuries.

Perfect served chilled, neat, or with a twist of citrus, Zwack Unicum remains a benchmark for herbal liqueurs — historic, unapologetically bold, and endlessly distinctive.
