What it is

The pure rye and potato canon: Polish vodka — Poland (with Russia) claims vodka's birthplace (the word appears in Polish records by 1405), and its protected styles include rye vodkas (Wyborowa, Belvedere) and potato vodkas (Luksusowa, Chopin). Origins: grain spirits distilled in Polish lands from the late Middle Ages; the 1830s continuous still made them silken. Made from: rye, wheat or potatoes, distilled and filtered to neutrality. How it's made: 1) Ferment the mash. 2) Distil (rectify) to high purity. 3) Dilute with pure water; rest. Served: ice-cold in small glasses, with herring, pickles and rye bread — the Polish zakąski table. Flavor: rye gives spice and oiliness; potato gives cream. Strength: 40%. Culture: vodka is the Polish celebration's engine — weddings measure it in crates. See also: Żubrówka, Nalewka.
