Of all the pálinka varieties apricot pálinka is perhaps the best known variety to Americans who visited Hungary. For those who ever tasted this fine liquor will have a real lifelong taste experience. The aroma of sun-ripened, soft-fleshed apricot mostly solders combinations of rose and floral scents. The taste evokes the almond-like slight bitterness of the apricot seeds, as well as the apricot jam of our grandmothers' larders.
