Slivovice

P from Prague, who moved in upstairs a couple of weeks ago, went back to the Czech republic last week. She was collecting more of her stuff and of course visiting her family.
She brought back a bottle of Slivovice for us, which was a superb surprise. Slivovice is the Czech traditional spirit, like snaps is Denmark or Whisky in Scotland, and it's made from plums. The bottle is from the Rudolph Jelinek Distilleries in Vizovice in the Zlin region, eastern Czech Republic.
We discovered the great taste of slivovice in 1989, when we visited a family in Padubice, but in fact haven't tasted it since.
