Our story

From orchard to bottle

The story of Pimić rakija begins in the 17th century, when our ancestors settled in the village of Dupljaj in the picturesque Valjevo region – a land of poetry, faith and struggle. They brought with them the Pimić surname, their family slava (the feast day of their patron saint, St Luke) and the knowledge that today we turn into rakija of the noblest kind.

In this region, the birthplace of the poet Desanka Maksimović and Archpriest Mateja Nenadović, the idea took root that every bottle we make should carry the name, honour and spirit of our ancestors. The Valjevo region is renowned for the highest-quality indigenous plum varieties and, by extension, for the finest rakija. It is this very gift of nature and tradition that we turn into a spirit in which history meets modern luxury.

Pimić rakija is more than a drink – it is a symbol of culture, heritage and enjoyment at its finest. Every drop we distil is crafted to meet the expectations of the most demanding gourmets and to bring the spirit of Serbia to the heart of Europe.

Craftsmanship without compromise

Our approach

We tend our plum orchards at several locations in the Valjevo region, on land that has belonged to our family for generations. The climate, altitude and soil structure make this area a unique terroir for growing top-quality plums. This is where our rakija is born, uniting the natural strength of the land with a master’s knowledge of distillation.

Our orchards are planted with carefully selected varieties that have proved themselves over decades – hardy, productive and rich in aroma. From planting to harvest, every step is carried out by hand, with the utmost care and dedication. We follow good agricultural practice, including organic treatments wherever possible, because we believe that only healthy plums can produce a first-class spirit.

Bees from our own apiary pollinate the orchards naturally, contributing to their stability and health. Our plums are not simply the fruit of the land – they are the product of knowledge, patience and family tradition. Every drop of Pimić rakija captures that authenticity and turns it into a luxury drink for the most discerning lovers of premium spirits.

Double distillation
0

Double distillation

While industrial producers speed up the process with computerised systems and artificial additives, we practise slow double distillation, constantly overseen by members of the family. Fermentation follows a purely natural course, with no industrial additives. Every step is monitored and refined – because speed has never been our goal, and there are no shortcuts to quality.

One-of-a-kind stills

Our rakija is made in stills of up to 300 litres – one-of-a-kind pieces handmade by leading master craftsmen from the Valjevo region and built to our exact specifications. Their particular design, combined with knowledge handed down through the generations, allows us to draw the purest aromas from every fruit and to achieve a distinctive, consistent profile that you will not find in mass-produced rakija.
