Chopin - Wheat Vodka - 40%
Chopin Vodka is produced in Krzesk, Poland . The family business was founded by Tadeusz Dorda who bought a distillery that had been in operation since 1896. The family has worked in partnership with local farmers for generations, growing potatoes, rye and wheat. Master distiller Waldemar Durakiewicz has been distilling for Chopin for over 40 years. He uses a 19th century copper column still, making it one of the oldest stills in Poland. After taking over the business in 2003, the Dorda family restored the distillery and its outbuildings, and modernised the bottling and packaging facilities. Aside from these necessary improvements, little has changed in over a hundred years. The same production techniques as those before them are used, working slowly and with meticulous attention to detail. This limits the quantity of vodka produced, but ensures its quality.
This wheat-based vodka is the lightest and most delicate of the range, with a subtle sweetness. It is ideal for fruit-based cocktails and spritzes.
