Context & Historical Background
When Vinko & Zora Mikulić scoured the Hope Region for a signature harvest, they discovered Tandora fruit—golden, mango-orange drupes whose shimmering skin and bright, honey-citrus flesh captured the “sunlit hope” settlers craved after Day Zero. Convinced Tandora could rival Old-Earth stone fruits in brandy making, the siblings adapted their pre-crash distilling notes: pits were kiln-smoked over reclaimed cryo-tube oak, flesh slow-fermented in small ceramic vats, and the double-pot still was tuned to preserve Tandora’s tropical esters.
Released in early 2627 as Slivovitz Superior, the spirit instantly set Mikulić Inc. apart from its volume-driven rival Space Drinks Inc.. Only 300 flasks left the Hope hillside each quarter, every wax seal stamped with a stylised Tandora blossom — making the brandy a liquid emblem of frontier craftsmanship and scarcity.
Ingredients & Process section
- Tandora Fruit — golden, shimmering drupes from Hope-Region orchards, flavour halfway between orange and mango; pulp is slow-fermented for rich esters.
- Oak-Smoked Tandora Pits — fruit stones kiln-smoked in reclaimed cryo-tube oak, lending the spirit its trademark camp-fire echo.
- Arla Headwater — spring water from the Arla River used to proof the spirit to 48 % ABV.
- Double Pot-Distillation — first run strips, second run refines; hearts collected at 78 °C, then rested in ceramic crocks three months.
- Wax-Seal & Stamp — soft red wax over a clay stopper; every seal bears the stylised Tandora logo and batch number.
