J.A. Baczewski Monopolowa Potato Vodka (750ml)

The Baczewski venture was established in 1782 and their spirits have been particularly popular in Poland and in the United States. A prominent U.S. trade journal noted that Vodka Monopolowa is “easily identifiable in blind tastings ... Produced from 100 percent potato spirit, it is one of the most flavourful and interesting vodkas.” It has won numerous awards for its taste and quality and been consistently rated “Exceptional”, “Best Spirit”, “Best Buy” and “Best Value”. All this against some of the world’s most recognised vodkas.

Other reviews... Clear. Mild frosted pastry and delicate spice aromas with a oily dryish medium-to-full body and a vibrant-yet-smooth mineral, cream and powdered sugar, and pepper accented finish. Elegant, pure and vibrant. 93 points www.tastings.comsize>

...a simple, inexpensive and beautiful potato vodka handled minimally, yields a progression of soft floral notes and vegetal sweetness. As the burn of alcohol kicks in, potato skins emerge, followed by husky leaves and a lingering peppery tingle, as well as the sensation of 80 proof clinging to the back of your throat.
