The jubilee selection of balsam has been aged longer in oaken barrels, giving the legendary beverage a rounded and mild flavor nuances.
The beverage created in the distant year 1752 has experienced the fall of empires and the birth of new states, changing generations and the creation of traditions.

The gold printed bottle design reflects the story of Latvia – the strong roots of the Latvian people, their unity and the development of the state, explains Kalnins.
