About Distillery
BB Klekovača from Bajina Bašta is the oldest existing Serbian distillery. It was founded in 1953, according to the tradition of the agricultural cooperative Bajina Bašta from 1905 and is famous for Klekovača (plum brandy- slivovitz with macerated juniper berries), which is an authentic and traditional brandy-rakija of Bajina Bašta and Tara mountains, where it has been grown for centuries.
Distillery BB produces more than twenty different brandys-rakija. Almost all brandys belong to the premium class, and from January 2018 they started with a continuous series “LIMITED EDITION”. Within this, in a strictly limited, even “MICRO” series, they show the top distillates of their distillery masters, new steps and experiments in the production of spirits and unique “GEMS”, which are spontaneously formed by aging in different barrels.
