Gönc Aranyai Pálinkahouse
The history of the distillery in Göncruszka dates back to old times, as the facility was built between 1968 and 1970. Their steam-powered, traditional equipment with copper stills could distill approximately 1,800 liters of mash at a time. Alongside the establishment of the distillery, 200 hectares of apricot orchards were planted in Gönc and Göncruszka. Great emphasis is placed on tradition, as the facility has been led for 30 years by a manager who is well-acquainted with the local fruits and learned the basics of distilling under the previous leadership. For a long time, their main activity was contract distillation for locals, a service they are well-known for in the region.
In 2013, the distillery underwent significant modernization thanks to a major investment, during which most of the equipment was replaced with modern systems. They continuously expand their product range, but since the carefully selected raw materials come from their own orchards or local producers, the main ingredient in their brandies remains apricot. This includes their Gönc apricot brandy, made with exceptional care and tradition.
