A bottle of Barack brandy

Barack (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a type of Hungarian brandy (Pálinka) made of (or flavored with) apricots; an apricot brandy. According to Britannica, barack palinka is "the best known of apricot brandies".[1]

The word barack is a collective term for both apricot (in Hungarian Script error: No such module "Lang"., lit. "yellow-peach") and peach (in Hungarian Script error: No such module "Lang"., lit. "autumn-peach"). Note that the Hungarian word Script error: No such module "Lang". is etymologically related to the English word 'peach' as well as many words meaning the same in many European languages, and ultimately goes back to Template:Transliteration, the ancient Greek word for 'Persian'.
