A bottle of Barack brandy
Barack ({{#invoke:IPA|main}}) 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".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
The word barack is a collective term for both apricot (in Hungarian {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, lit. "yellow-peach") and peach (in Hungarian {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, lit. "autumn-peach"). Note that the Hungarian word {{#invoke:Lang|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'.
