The best vodka in town

I love Vodka, and especially Polish vodka, more properly Polskie wódki. While Polish Vodka gets its shelf space in U.S. liquor stores, most shoppers still miss out on the vast variety of types and styles available. This article from the Sydney Morning Herald explores the history and variety found in the world of Polish vodka: The best vodka in town.

Here are some of the types and styles I have tried:

  • Belvedere
  • Chopin
  • Luksusowa
  • Wyborowa
  • Żubrówka (3 ways – the original, homemade using bison grass from Białowieża, and the U.S. import)
  • Extra Żytnia
  • Lanique Vodka (kosher from Łańcut Distillery)
  • Królewska

I encourage you to drop a note to your local proprietor and ask that they carry a selection of Polish vodkas. Of course enjoy responsibly.

October 20 – Eusebius of Caesarea from The History of the Martyrs in Palestine

So, then, we have described and made known the things which were done during the whole time of the persecution among the people in Palestine. And all these were blessed martyrs of God, who triumphed in our time; who made light of this temporary life, and prized the worship of God far above every other thing, and have received the hidden hope of those good things which are invisible to the bodily eyes.

Oh! the blessed confessors of the kingdom of Christ, who were tried like gold in the excellence of their righteousness, and obtained through the conflict in which they were set the heavenly life of angels, and laid hold upon the promises of the hidden good things of the victory of the high calling–For eye hath not seen nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what God has prepared for them that love him.
