Derived from the Polish word for “luxury”, Luksusowa has been in operation since 1928, making it one of Poland’s oldest vodkas. Now owned by French-based Pernod Ricard, Luksusowa accounts for 10% of the Polish Vodka market.
Tasting Notes
From the distillery: A neutral nose with a medium to full and slightly earthy palate. The finish is crisp with moderate bitterness.
Method
Meant to be colourless, odourless and neutral Vodka can be made from many different base ingredients, but traditionally cereal grains or potatoes are used. Fermentation takes place (water+yeast+base ingredient) which creates the base alcoholic liquid The base liquid is then distilled into a “purer” spirit. Depending on the distillery’s preference, this process can be repeated again and again. After distillation the spirit is filtered through (typically) charcoal, removing any leftover impurities, leaving you with a clean product. This remaining product is high in alcohol and water is then added to bring the vodka down to a desired ABV, usually 40%.
Distilled from Polish potatoes that creates a smoother texture and richer tasting vodka. With less aromatics than a grain distilled vodka it remains clean, pure and simple, as vodka traditionally should be. 100% Gluten free.
