Unicum is a herbal liqueur that was first created by Dr. Zwack in 1790. The production process and its secret recipe have remained unchanged since then. To this day, the drink is made according to the original family recipe, using the same methods but with the application of the most modern technology. Its flavor reaches perfection in 500 oak barrels resting in the legendary cellar of the factory on Soroksári Road. The drink contains over 40 types of herbs and spices, imported from various parts of the world, from neighboring countries to exotic regions. The flavors and aromas are extracted from the herbs in two ways. One method is extraction, where the herbs are mixed with fine alcohol made from corn and allowed to soak, drawing out the valuable substances to create the extract. This process gives Unicum its rich flavor. The other method is distillation, which preserves the aromatic fragrance of the herbs used in the drink. The various prepared ingredients are then mixed in traditional wooden tubs to ensure consistent Unicum quality.
