The national drink of Hungary is pálinka (fruit brandy) not Unicum but Unicum is a classic and amazing. It does wonders after a really heavy dinner or as a last drink of the night but it is extremely bitter(not at all sweet like Jäger which Is why I like it) and definietely an acquired taste.
It is an acquired taste admitedly, like Marmite - either you love it or hate. Personaly I love it, just the one glass after dinner, goes down really well. I find the Next is too sweet for my taste, the 'Barrista' is fine but I still prefer to the tradicional recipe.
Recently returned from a vacation in Budapest. Absolutely had a blast! Tried Palinka( multiple flavors) toured and sampled Unicum at the distillery , Szilva, Reserva , Barista and the original , we liked it so much drank two bottles while we were in Hungary. So it’s a definite love it or leave it . We have been extremely unsuccessful in locating some in the States.
Budapest is an absolutely beautiful city to hang out in! And yes, I would love to find some of that here in the states, but it is near impossible. Glad you had a good time!
For anyone who doesn't like the original Unicom, i'd highly recommend trying the plum flavoured version or the Unicum Riserva. The last one is a bit more pricey becuse it's aged longer and there is more sugar added so it's a lot sweeter. Tastes almost like Jägermeister but a tiny bit less sweet.
@@whiskeyatwork9581 the commercial ones are ok usually. The home made ones are the ones that you need to be careful with. But good pálinka leaves a fruity after taste.
as a hungarian I can tell you that Unicum it was and it is the drink of the jewish gentries of Budapest ( no offense, if you had seen the move titled Sunshine is based on the story of Unicum) and definetly not the national drink of Hungary, btw you need something to drink with it preferably a beer

It is most definitely an acquired taste! But it was fun to drink.
Az Unicum szintén hungarikum
@@almos-bendeguzarany9274igen, de a pálinka régebbi és klasszikusabb

We just ordered a bottle of it for our 200th episode. Glad to know it may be better!
In that commercial, the prince signted the mans execution
You either love it or hate it
So true!

Someone please send them some palinka...
I have a small bottle! It was…interesting.

I would like to try more. It is a very interesting alcohol. It’s very hard to compare it to anything in the United States.
@@whiskeyatwork9581 the best description I can give is it's a kind of fruit brandy.

Agreed, it needs a good beer with it. I'd also argue Palinka is the national drink of Hungary. (I'm also Hungarian but not fully sadly)
The worst thing that I’ve ever drunk…absolutely vile.
I don’t think you’ll really get an argument from the three of us either! Thanks for watching.
Try Petrus.
