History of the King of Spirits
The company was founded in June 1994 by two entrepreneurs, Pavel Varga and Jiri Cerny, who decided to make the best spirits in the Czech Republic.
They came up with this idea after an unsuccessful attempt to do business in their own store: the men traded in high-quality imported alcohol, which was forced out of the market by cheap fakes.
Initially, the partners argued for a long time about which drinks to give preference to in production. In the end, it was decided that the company would make rum, vodka and absinthe.
The first absinthe produced by L’or special drinks was King of Spirits. It is based on the classic recipe of the end of the XNUMXth century, which was loved by the nobles of those times.
The content of thujone in the drink meets the standards of those years: in one of the varieties of King of Spirits, it is almost the same as in the old tinctures: 100 mg per 1 liter of drink. Absolutely today you will not find absinthe with such a content of thujone.
