The distillate of this article is named after the only person to accept all the Albanians as a national hero: Skënderbeu. Or Skanderbeu. Or Skenderbeg. Or Skanderbeg. Or ... Oh, I do not know. In the Albanian language, there are many Deklinationsmöglichkeiten. This requires one hand to find the words never again in the dictionary and understand the opposite on the other hand never know what you think yourself straight.
This fact is aggravated me from a totally unknown reason: In part (I'm just laid on the following notation) Skënderbeu as "konjac" sold, in part as "Brandy". Some shops carry both products, in others there is only one product, there is no regularity observed.
that is not all black writer to benefit from the proliferation of the simplest level of quality (Also only the ones I had in 95% of the business can buy), the empty bottles to fill with their home-made vodka again and bring it into the trade.
occasionally be seen occasionally, not at the fake revenue stamp. However, there is no one really bothers.
the professional tasting glass and wanted to treat me a little of this precious drop.
Originally my plan was indeed the fact that 13 years of excellence test for lack of availability (even in the Albanian Duty Free is not the flagship product of the Albanian art fuel was sold!) it had the youngest representative.
short a little history: from 1444 Skënderbeu fought against the invasion by the Ottomans in Albania and is able to actually stop in northern and central Albania, but do not throw back.
He died in 1468, ten years later, the Ottomans managed to break through and occupied Albania for over 400 years.
lot more history there is not really self-expression and the the distillery is anything but enlightening.

direct outlet is fortunately very short with no discernible taste, but one can trace the path of good brandy in the stomach - a strong, burning sensation makes possible.
Conclusion: If this is the original, I do not know the fake. to use than as antifreeze or floor cleaner, but even then there are more pleasurable products on the market.
further information: Bottlers: ADOL Ltd.; age. 3.5Y; alcohol content (?): 40% by volume; Approximate price: 300-500ALL (€ 2.20-3.70) (0.7l)
What remains at the end to say? If you want to drink something local, so one should not resort to this product, the scarcely available to more than 13 years of bottling. An alternative would be
Albanian raki, but here is the quality of luck in every city is something else burned. Ultimately, not even talking
the price of the brandy - for 145ALL (1.06 €) you get 1.5l Tirana Beer in PET bottle. Has just as much style, but still a recommended beer. Slightly tart and brewed at least according to label only the well-known four ingredients.
