Praděd Altvater

Praděd is an herbal liqueur with a characteristic golden yellow colour, a sweetish, slightly bitter herbal taste and a harmonious aroma, which is produced by macerating 16 herbs and fruits in an alcoholic solution.

The history of Praděd herbal liqueur dates back to 1877, when Siegfried Gessler, a liqueur manufacturer from Krnov, registered a trademark for the product under the name Jägerndorfer Altvater - Krnovský Praděd. This liqueur with a top-secret recipe was a huge success and became the flagship product of the family firm.

Production continued in Krnov until 1961, when, as part of the reorganisation of the national enterprise Seliko, it was moved to the distillery in Dolany. Production continued here until it ceased in the late 1990s.

Rudolf Jelínek could not bear to see this traditional brand disappear and in 2005 bought the trademarks and recipes. The tradition from northern Moravia has thus found its continuation in Vizovice.
