Are you talking about this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slivovitz
There are many, MANY kinds.
- From really wile tasting and smelling homemade (moonshine) horrors, (often up to 80% alcohol, so it burns your throat, unless you know how to drink it)
- through generic, commercial, bought at any supermarket in countless variants - made from food grade alcohol, plus some plum flavorings, some sugar and, perhaps a bit of genuine fermented plum destilate
- to really nice, well aged stuff professionally made from actual fermented plums
- to absolutely exquisite alcohol drink made lovingly at home with great, great care and LOTS of expertise.
I generally do not like alcohol. I am not an active, militant teatotaller, but I usually refuse anything with alcohol in it. But, once I won a small bottle of Slivovitz (Czech made, from real fruit, well aged) and THAT one tastes really great. Smells even better.
