The Korea Times : Slivovitz Czech’s Spirit
If there is soju for Koreans and whiskey for Scottish people, there is slivovitz for Czechs. The Embassy of the Czech Republic in Seoul last Monday hosted ``Slivovitz and its Soul,’’ an exhibition on the history of the drink, at the new Czech restaurant, Castle Praha, near Hongik University.

This one of the more bizzare exhibits of Czech culture you can think of. But the interesting question is whether it is accurate. I suspect that most Bohemian Czechs think of slivovice (plum brandy) as a Moravian thing. Not that that would stop them from drinking it but whether it could be classified as Czech whiskey is doubtful. The top of the Czech liquor leage table is much more balanced - rum, Becherovka/Fernet, slivovice all run closely together.
