For the sake of accuracy rather than argumentation, slivovitz (or slibowitz)
is a synonym
for tzuica
which is the first distillation of the plums, & is slightly cloudy & is lower
alcohol
content than palinca/
horinca. Palinca/horinca is the redistillation of tzuica/slivovitz. Here in
Romania
there is a saying
about how the weather when it is sleeting is like slivovitz falling from the
sky.

Sloe gin is made from Blackthorn plum (prunus spinosa) tho it could
potentially have any
number of
other plums added to it.

For horinca/palinca everyone uses grafted plums (regional cultivars of prunus
domestica)
grafted on
Myrobalan plum.
