OUR STORY
Brigljević Distillery is a boutique distillery in Croatia founded in 2002.
We’re a father-daughter duo with a passion for crafting spirits that represent our homeland in a brand new light.
To us, spirit-making is an art form: we draw inspiration from tradition, but we also innovate playfully to create exceptional flavors.
OUR CRAFT
Blending the finest Scottish, French, and Croatian techniques, we craft full-bodied spirits with distinctive aromas.

We rely on natural fermentation with ambient yeast, followed by double distillation in artisanal copper pot stills. Every spirit is then aged in carefully selected casks.
Our passion lies in creative cask maturation. As the only distillery in Croatia with a unique cask management system, we source casks from around the world to shape truly exceptional flavors.
OUR FOOTPRINT
We source all raw ingredients from local fruit growers, winemakers, and brewers who share our sustainability principles, and supply us with the best of what nature can give.
Our distillery production footprint is naturally very low: our copper pot stills are powered by recycled wood chips, whereas all organic waste from distillation is repurposed as compost for our garden.
