The company produces an 80 U.S. proof (40% alcohol) herbal liqueur known as Unicum from a secret blend of more than forty different herbs and spices.

The company is also a distributor of a range of international brands such as Johnnie Walker, Baileys, Smirnoff, Hennessy and Gordons.

[citation needed] According to the company, Unicum was created by József Zwack, the Royal Physician to the Habsburg Court, for Emperor Joseph II in 1790.

[1] By the early 1900s, the Zwack company had become one of the largest distilleries in central Europe, producing and exporting over 200 liqueurs and spirits.

He repurchased his family business from the State in the summer of 1989, and by the spring of 1990, the original Zwack product was reintroduced to the Hungarian market.

Some of the herbs and spices are distilled, some are macerated, then blended together and aged in oak casks at the factory in Budapest for over 6 months.

The company also produces a different version of the liqueur known as Unicum next, which is made from basically the same recipe but is slightly less bitter and has more of a citrus finish on the palate.

The range initially has been broadened with six different fruit liqueurs produced alike, but mellowed with sugar and honey.
