"That is a unicum!" – this enthusiastic reaction is attributed to Emperor Joseph II of the Holy Roman Empire in 1790 after he first tasted the herbal liqueur created by Dr. Zwack. The liqueur, made from over 40 different roots and herbs, is based on a traditional recipe still guarded by the Zwack family today. Originally, the herbs were steeped in alcohol, enriched with sugar, and used as a medicinal elixir – and thus served to the Emperor by his court physician for plague prevention. Today, however, herbal liqueurs are no longer known for their medicinal properties.

For the production of Unicum, the selected herbs are macerated in alcohol for several weeks to extract the essential active ingredients. The mixture is then distilled and stored in oak barrels for six months for flavor maturation.
