The history of vodka production in Poland dates back to the 15th century and is firmly rooted in Polish culture. Originally distilled from locally grown rye or wheat, Polish vodka has become a symbol of purity, hospitality and precision craftsmanship. Over the centuries, production methods have been continuously refined – from simple distillation methods to complex distillation and filtration processes that today help shape global quality standards.
Made from high-quality ingredients such as rye, wheat, potatoes or molasses, Polish vodka is distilled several times to achieve exceptional clarity and a particularly smooth taste. Subsequent filtration removes any remaining impurities and gives the distillate its smooth texture. This combination of centuries-old tradition, strict quality standards and first-class raw materials makes vodka from Poland one of the most popular and highest-quality spirits worldwide.
Polish vodka is valued for its exceptional purity and harmonious taste, which is largely due to precise filtration processes. After distillation, it often passes through activated carbon filters, which remove impurities and refine the aroma. Other methods, such as quartz sand or platinum filtration, provide additional clarity and a particularly smooth texture. These multi-stage processes are a hallmark of high-quality Polish vodka varieties and contribute to the final product's appeal, both neat and in cocktails.
Żubrówka is one of the best-known Polish vodkas and impresses with its unique bison grass aroma. The mild, slightly spicy taste makes it ideal for pure enjoyment or for cocktails such as the famous "Apple Żubrówka".
Belvedere Vodka is made from 100% Polish Dankowskie Gold rye and refined in a four-step distillation process that ensures exceptional purity and velvety smoothness.
