BROOKLYN, NY & VIENNA, AUSTRIA - August 25, 2025 - At Bar Convent Brooklyn 2025 USA, Eshel GmbH Austria proudly showcased its acclaimed Jozsef Stevlik spirits brand, presented by Advantage Austria New York under the Go International WKO export development program. This innovative Startup from the Food and Beverage Industry offers four single-varietal fruit spirits designed to inspire creativity behind the bar: Single Plum Spirit (Oaked & Unoaked) and Single Apple Spirit (Oaked & Unoaked).
These distilled spirit specialties made from fresh collected whole fruit only, have garnered widespread acclaim, earning a remarkable 24 silver medals from prestigious competitions such as the London Spirits Competition, USA Spirits Ratings, and the Bartender Spirits Awards, all judged by leading bartenders and industry experts from the U.K. and the U.S. These awards recognize the bold flavor profiles, purity, and craftsmanship that set Jozsef Stevlik apart in the competitive world of premium spirits.
“The Jozsef Stevlik spirits are crafted to inspire bartenders with authentic fruit expression and sustainability,” explains Dusan Stevlik, Founder of the Jozsef Stevlik Brand and Managing Director of Eshel GmbH Austria. “We want mixologists to create signature drinks that tell a story of heritage, quality, and environmental responsibility.”
Sourced from the Carpathian Region, often called the “Amazon of Europe” due to its Danube river, vast forests, rich biodiversity, and ecological importance, these spirits embody a centuries-old tradition of fruit cultivation and distillation. The Carpathian Mountains themselves, sometimes referred to as the “Little Andes of Central and Eastern Europe,” provide the pristine fruit essential to the brand’s unique character and taste.
What sets Jozsef Stevlik apart is its High Kosher certification, making it one of the few crafted spiritsworldwide to meet strict kosher standards. This certification not only opens doors to new markets but also ensures purity, quality, and consumer trust—important for modern bars seeking diverse, inclusive beverage options from the non-commercial, small-batch sector.
“Each cocktail made with Jozsef Stevlik supports the rehabilitation of fruit trees in the Carpathian region,” adds Dusan Stevlik. “This creates a sustainable cycle where fruit-based mixology directly contributes to the conservation of fertile land and the region’s delicate ecosystem.”
The brand’s approach marries tradition with modern signature trends, giving bartenders and bar managers a compelling product to innovate with. No added sugar, only natural fruit flavor, and smooth finish make these spirits ideal for fresh, creative cocktails as well as elevated classics.
Dusan Stevlik is pioneering a new era where sustainable practices and heritage ingredients influence how premium cocktails are conceived and enjoyed. As he emphasizes,“With Jozsef Stevlik, bartenders don’t just serve drinks — they serve a movement that honors culture, nature, and craftsmanship.”
This premium liquid is poised to redefine fruit spirits in the global bar industry, making it a must-explorer for forward-thinking bartenders and bar managers eager to deliver bold, authentic, and sustainable cocktail experiences.
“The Jozsef Stevlik brand celebrates the legacy of Dusan Stevlik’s grandfather, a daring bootlegger of the Orient Express, whose passion for fruit cultivation inspires a journey that fuels creativity behind every bar”.
