Stara Sokolova Travka combines these two natural gifts to produce a spirit that has a full, fruity flavor that sits atop an earthy foundation provided by aromitization with 21 specially selected herbs. Multiple years of aging in oak barrels enriches the flavor and provides further balance.
Stara Sokolova (Old Falcon’s) originated from centuries-long tradition of the Bogdanovic – Krivajci family from the village of Kostojevici near Bajina Basta. Its name was derived from its home region, the area of the western Serbia along the river Drina which, at the time of the Turkish reign, was named Sokolskanahija after the mediaeval town of Soko (Falcon).
This ecological area intersected by the rivers of Derventa, Jalosnica and Rogacica at the foot of the mountain range consisting of Jelova Gora, Kadinjaca and Ponikve mountains, is full of good orchards. The village of Kostojevici is the geographic centre of this region.
Above the village there is the Spasovik hill and on its eastern slope there lies a small and particularly beautiful valley called Krivaja. At this place, as far back as 1830, an old head of the household, a native and an acknowledged blacksmith Sava Bogdanovic, by careful selection of old autochthonous plum cultivars, created the family love which has been passed on through seven generations.
