OMFG 2018
Like every year, the time has come for the OMFG update. It is not necessary to repeat what you’ve known for 4 years. That OMFG is a limited, collector’s edition of (y)our favourite gin, distilled in a very small volume and not available all year round. No, let’s get right down to business. OMFG is…
Merry Christmas from the Tangerines
Many of you can remember it (well, if you lived here in Czech). Before 1989, tangerines were only available in the stores of what was then Czechoslovakia at Christmas, and if you were lucky enough, you might actually buy them, the exhibition wasn’t making another stop. And so they became one of the symbols of…
Fifteen-year-old Zufanek slivovitz
A few days ago, we celebrated the 17th anniversary of establishing our distillery, and have prepared something special for you, our dearest customers and fans. We’re opening our archive! After 15 long years, we’re bottling slivovitz distilled in 2002. A year when the first logo of ŽUSY was created, when we came up with the…

On 11 September 2000, ŽUSY s. r. o. (Žufánek and Sons) was incorporated.

Head-first, onto bare concrete. We could have easily hit the bottom. But we didn’t. The beginnings…
Have you forgotten about the cucumber?
Let us introduce the fourth in our series of special geists. After the Sicilian lemon, Moroccan mint and Czech caraway, here comes the Moravian cucumber! And in the best quality possible. Of course. If we were to choose our products that match ideally with food, we’d select our new series of geists. Unconventional raw materials…
Geil geist!
We are being pushed by a desire. The desire to experience any interesting produce in distilled form, since distillation is the best form of filtration: an ideal way of retaining the sensitive natural flavours. We’ve been doing this for 17 years. And this year, we plan to expand even further. Right! We’ve reached a stage…
Absinthe St. Antoine turns ten!
It was supposed to be just an experiment. An attempt to make something with no tradition in these parts of the world. A spirit for friends, oddballs, artists, and barflies. But it became something much bigger. The first Czech absinthe accepted by the strong international absinthe community. A product that started the second absinthe wave…
