The Distillery and Chocolatier Berryshka is located in south-eastern Slovenia, in the town of Obrh, close to Dolenjske Toplice spa resort. It is surrounded by forests of Kočevje, natural spring waters and the untouched nature from which the needed berries – the core of distillery production – are harvested. The Distillery is part of a family-owned company with more than 25-year-old tradition. Since the beginning, the company has been producing essential oils, particularly juniper berry essential oils. With the renovation of the distillery, the wish for variety of products has also come true. The distillation of juniper berries and production of the juniper brandy go hand in hand. With the juniper brandy production, the idea of producing other spirits and fruit liqueurs was also born. In 2011 the brand Berryshka has come to life in its unique and elegant image and is recognizable at home as well as abroad for its broad range of spirits, fruit liqueurs and handmade chocolate products.
