The Williams pear enjoys the status of the “queen” among pears. Only a distillate made from Williams pears that is crystal clear, rich in expression, and noble in character can be “crowned” with the trust of true connoisseurs.
“What does love mean? To touch the world around you, without spoiling it…”
This verse by Mika Antić beautifully captures the spirit of GeN Distillery — our devotion to preserving the pure essence of nature. The William’s pear already carries its own remarkable
aroma; our task is simply to honor it through careful craftsmanship at every step, especially during fermentation.
We nurture our orchards until the perfect moment of harvest. Only the finest, ripest, and unblemished William’s pears are chosen. When treated with patience and skill, they become a refined rakia — a crystal-clear spirit that achieves harmony while resting in stainless steel vessels.
Williams rakija – Viljamovka is traditionally served as an aperitif. It’s a true herald of hedonism — a drink that awakens the bohemian and youthful spirit.
GeN Distillery’s Williams pear rakija will meet your eyes with its crystal clarity through the glass bottle, and then speak to you with its bold varietal pear aromas. The best way to enjoy it is to serve it at room temperature and warm the glass with your whole hand before sipping. In the body, it works like a warm, loving energy — and it most certainly warms the soul.
Forget about shooting rakija — Williams pear rakija is meant to be sipped slowly, savored with full attention to its refined aromas. It pairs beautifully with fish and vegetable dishes, as well as goat cheese and aged hard cheeses.
