Aura Gorki Pelinkovac (Croatian: Aura Gorki Pelinkovac - Rakija iz Hrvatske) is a traditional Croatian bitter liqueur based on Werder, which is produced in the Istria region with great dedication and according to old recipes. Pelinkovac - also known as Pelinkovec or Pelinovec - is considered a true classic among herbal spirits in Croatia and is deeply rooted in the regional drinking culture.

With an alcohol content of 30.8% by volume and its typical bitter flavour profile, this liqueur is reminiscent of well-known herbal bitters such as Jägermeister in its intensity, but stands out clearly with its particularly pronounced wormwood character. The harmonious composition of wormwood herb, various herbs and roots results in a tart, spicy and slightly medicinal flavour that is appreciated both on its own and in mixed drinks.

The Aura distillery is known for its high-quality, regionally produced specialities. With Gorki Pelinkovac, it has created an authentic and aromatically profound herbal bitters that is equally convincing as an aperitif, digestif or in creative cocktail variations.
