Nenad Krstić is a former Serbian basketball player and captain of the Serbian national team, who won a silver medal at the 2009 European Championship in Poland and the 2014 World Championship in Spain with the national team. Throughout his illustrious career, he played for top European clubs such as CSKA and Anadolu Efes, and also competed in the NBA for teams including the New Jersey Nets, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Boston Celtics. 

He won the national championship three times with Partizan. In early 2023, he took over the leadership of the Kraljevo Basketball Club Sloga. The period during which he played far from his country was crucial for the development of the idea of rakia production.

Nenad is now the owner of Krstić Distillery, which is built on solid principles and strong values. As he emphasizes, he is aware that there are no shortcuts in producing top-quality rakia, and that time is their ally, not something to be fought against. 

"With a vision for tradition, we have returned to a time when quality rakia was an indispensable part of Serbian cuisine. We wanted to offer a product that is rich in aroma and distinctive in taste, which is why Troglav rakia is a delicate blend of art and science that combines old techniques with new technology. In our distillery, sugar is strictly forbidden, as is the addition of flavors, colors, and similar supplements that compromise the quality and purity of our product," emphasizes Krstić.
