Where can I find local distilleries?

Hey everyone, I was just wondering—is brandy the only way to go, or is fruit brandy produced everywhere? I know we have our ways here in the States, but does anyone know which other countries actually produce their own version of fruit brandy? And if they do, what do they call it over there (and I’m not talking about the North American varieties)...?

Thanks for any insight, and please, let's keep the jokes to a minimum 😠 😉

Schnapps is basically just the English word for brandy. It’s this traditional spirit you find all over Eastern Europe—it's huge in places like Poland or Bulgaria, and I’m pretty sure it’s a staple in Ukraine and Russia too.

If you had actually bothered to do a quick Google search, you would've found a Wikipedia article on the whole thing. Here you go..

Beat me to it. I was just about to drop this link: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=rakija

Anyway, if you ask anyone over in the Midwest, they call it moonshine.

Hello everyone... I’d love to get your thoughts on a specific bottle of plum brandy (slivovitz) I have here. It was factory-sealed back in 1961 in Asheville... what do you think would be a realistic market price for a one-liter bottle like this? Thanks!
