Luksusowa - Polish Potato Vodka, Ethically Sourced and Award Winning, 70cl, 40% 1177

Product Information

Although the label has changed numerous times over the years, the bottle has always remained tall and square with its red (sometimes silver) label retaining the feel of an arched cathedral window. The bouquet shows clean, mellow aromas of pastry dough and sweet cream with a silky dry-yet-fruity medium body with very delicate dried fruit, custard, and spice notes and a long, creamy, and gently warming pepper and mineral finish.

Try it with an open mind, and you may, like I, have found the perfect spirit for everyday or special occasions. With a name that means „luxurious” in Polish and made from selected spuds, Luksusowa is a premium potato vodka created in 1928.Triple distilled from potatoes, filtered through charcoal for purity and then blended with pure Artesian well water. Don’t worry, leave it to Luksusowa, we’ve been making vodka from potatoes for a long time and after all no man need unnecessary work. I have been a Chopin vodka for years but found Luksusowa to be of a much finer quality, and easier on my wallet. In 1999, when the Polmos brands, distilleries and compoundaries were privatised the brand was bought by Polmos Zielona Góra in Western Poland. However, after having enjoyed all the premium brands, I find I keep coming back to Luksusowa when making a vodka martini, vodka and tonic or just straight on the rocks.

The raw spirit passes through 3 columns of a continuous still to remove impurities whilst retaining its distinctive potato character.

Once distilled, they are blended with water drawn from 3 deep wells under the plant before bottling on site. While I usually drink wheat vodkas with an occasional potato (Chopin), it was in the past that I drank the potato vodkas and was generally just OK with the taste and unfortunately, the lack of smoothness and the apparent 'bite' to them.

Try it with the brine from pickled beetroots: a most noble Polish vegetable, a real taste of Poland! I'd like to do a blind taste test between this and Absolut and see if people that like Absolut could determine between the two as this is very similar. Made from Potatoes, the manliest food there is, Luksusowa has been creating this vodka for a long time. I do not care for tasteless vodkas like Grey Goose -- I want to feel something in my mouth and throat. The long connection between the Royal Navy and rum can be traced back to 1655 and Vice-Admiral William Penn's expedition to the West Indies.My girlfriend and I decided to try a flight of potato vodkas at Red Square in the Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas. Potatoes deliver richer, denser, and smoother vodka than those more traditionally distilled from grain or grapes. The story goes that Ivan Putski, The Polish Hammer, walks into a Warsaw bar just before a big wrestling match and asks the barmaid for a potion to pick him up so he can knock ’em down. A slowly stirred 3 or 4 to 1 Ratio of Luskusowa to vermouth with a 1-2 dashes of a good bitter and lemon zest yields a wonderfully viscous martini.
