The Bosilj\u010di\u0107 family is an old Serbian family that lived in the vicinity of Nevesinje in Herzegovina. At the beginning of the 19th century, part of the Bosilj\u010di\u0107 family, the father with his sons Avram and Joksim, moved to Gorjane, a village near U\u017eice.<\/p>\n
On the property where they moved, around 1820, they started producing brandy. With their honest work and hard work, the Bosilj\u010di\u0107 family gained a great reputation in Serbian society, they were prominent in agriculture, art, construction, humanitarian work, and politics. They socialized with influential people in the country and outside its borders.
\nThrough painstaking work, they created and expanded their property, on which they planted plums, apples, pears, grapes, from which they produced the finest brandy and wine, following the technological modernization of the time. They have passed down their long tradition of brandy production from generation to generation.
\nDuring the Second World War, in 1943, the year when plums produced well, all the capacities of the Bosilj\u010di\u0107 distillery at that time were filled. The German army, on the orders of their superiors at the time, came to the Bosilj\u010di\u0107 distillery and burned the houses, all the production and reserves of brandy that had been aging until then. The reason given is that the Bosilj\u010di\u010d family is a Chetnik family that has been for the king and the fatherland for generations. In accordance with the political belief \u201cfor the king and the fatherland\u201d, in 1946, the communists declared the Bosilj\u010di\u0107 family enemies of the people and without any proof or trial they confiscated the entire property on which there were fruit plantations from which premium brandy was produced.
\nLeft in the burning of their houses, with nothing, the Bosilj\u010di\u0107 family set out again for decades to create and restore their remaining estate and family brand. With its prominent efforts in the fields of agriculture, art and construction within its country and beyond its borders, the Bosilj\u010di\u0107 family name is once again becoming recognizable.
\nThanks to Radomir Bosilj\u010di\u0107, on the property that was not confiscated in 1946, and where our ancestors settled in the early 19th century, the construction of the family castle began in 2000 as a memorial building to tradition and our ancestors, and the construction of the Bosilj\u010di\u0107 distillery according to the most modern technological standards. In the same year, with the purchase of the surrounding plots, the planting of trees of 3 varieties of plums (cha\u010danka rodne, po\u017eega\u010de and stanley), of which there are about 6,000 today, begins.<\/p>\n
In 2004, the Bosilj\u010di\u0107 family was rehabilitated by the decades-long effort of its heirs, and in 2018, the partial return of the confiscated property began, on which the fruit plantations used for the production of brandy will be restored. Accordingly, the plan of the Bosilj\u010di\u0107 distillery is to plant more than 10,000 plum trees on its plots in the coming years, from which the finest family plum brandy \u2013 Excellencija \u2013 is produced.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are healthy, God bless you\u201d \u2013 this is how our ancestors toasted life, health and love.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”52px”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1567674143067{padding-right: 3.7% !important;padding-bottom: 91px !important;padding-left: 3.7% !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1568122697873{background-image: url(https:\/\/aperitif.qodeinteractive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/h1-bckg-img-4.jpg?id=167) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1570451214193{padding-top: 93px !important;padding-right: 12% !important;padding-bottom: 93px !important;padding-left: 12% !important;}” column_responsive_padding_1440=”93px 10%” column_responsive_padding_1366=”93px 10%” column_responsive_padding_1280=”93px 10%” column_responsive_padding_680=”93px 11%”]

Distillery Bosilj\u010di\u0107 has prochromic fermentors for the simultaneous accommodation of 200 tons of pitted fruit, a column with 5 floors, a deflagrator, an aromatizer and a cauldron of 1500 l indirectly heated by low-pressure steam. The plums for our brandy come from our orchards, which allows us to perform the first technological operation, which is the collection of ripe fruits (falling plums), flawlessly.
