Frequently
Asked Questions
Below, we answer the most frequently asked questions about contract distillation. For further information, please contact us by phone or email.
When delivering your mash, please bring your tax identification card, identity card and address card, as well as the certificate of origin for any pálinka distilled for you at another distillery during the current year.
The certificate of origin is required because the tax-exempt quantity is calculated per calendar year and per contract-distillation customer. Therefore, the amount of spirit distilled elsewhere must also be recorded. We will check the documents upon receipt.
The minimum quantity that can be distilled is 200 litres of mash. Mash collection and distillation always take place by prior appointment, so please call us in advance on +36 30 238 6843.
We process each batch of mash separately, ensuring that neither the mash nor the finished pálinka is mixed with anyone else’s. This means every customer receives the spirit made exclusively from their own raw ingredients.
Contract-distilled spirit is exempt from excise duty up to an annual quantity equivalent to 86 litres of spirit at 50% alcohol by volume. This exemption is based on Act LXVIII of 2016 on Excise Duty.
Any quantity exceeding this limit is subject to excise duty. Our staff will provide information about the applicable tax rate and the details of the settlement. Please contact us by phone or enquire in person at the distillery.
The contract distillation fee is HUF 1,800 per litre, including 27% VAT. We will provide detailed information about the fee and settlement arrangements when your appointment is scheduled.
A contract distillation customer may be a fruit grower aged 18 or over who has spirit produced from fruit they own or from raw materials made from that fruit. The service is available exclusively for mash made from the customer’s own fruit.
Your Own Fruit, Your Own Pálinka
We process only mash made from fruit you own, using the traditional small-pot distillation method.
The Secret to Good Mash
Ripe, healthy fruit is the foundation of a quality spirit. Remove any spoiled parts, and keep the mash clean and tightly sealed.
