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 Łańcut 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.
