Apple juice just isn't the same without it!

Pan Tadeusz is nice and mellow. It has a Lithuanian connection I've heard but it's a Polish vodka

Luksusowa Wyborowa Zoborwka Polish Vodka is simply the best.

Merged:Which is the best Polish vodka for my dad's birthday??

Its my dads birthday soon and i was thinking of trying to get him some Polish vodka (he likes a drink), any ideas on which one is the best and where to get it from??

The best vodka is probably Chopin vodka although I personally recommend Pan Tadeusz. It depends on where u r based on England but it should be quite easy to get ur hands on

Cheers Seanus! Im in Germany at the moment mate so it should'nt be too hard should it?? P.S Its not rocket fuel is it? I don't want him stripping and running around the place!!

That'd be spiritus, not vodka. Vodka here is the same, strength-wise, 40%. Germany will have a fair bit of Polish vodka. Stripping and running around the place can happen through beer, believe me, I've seen people do it

Belvedere, Chopin, Pan Tadeusz usually come in a nice presentation box and the bottles have a decorative pattern.

If you google 'belvedere vodka', for example, you might find outlets in Germany.

Which is the best Polish vodka for my dad's birthday??

- I would recommend Belvedere. The bottle is beautiful too - long and thin, with the inward picture of the Warsaw Belweder palace (Baroque style), magnified by the liquid. No to cyk i sto lat!

I would gladly have an old, regular Polish Żytnia, Stołowa, or Vistula (not available in the US).

I would have to agree. I gave a bottle to some very close friends at Christmas, and hope to receive an invitation to help them crack it open!

- Good stuff too.

- Excellent choice, Shawnie. Maybe one day we'll crack one together?
;)

Sorry i don't speak Polish

- It's never too late to learn, brother. Powodzenia (good luck) with picking out the right vodka.

- Falkster - the really nice German mate is back - so nice. I feared you've given up on us, mate. Wilkommen und prosit!
;)

- Are there any neutral spots nowadays? All's so politicised. Just kiddin.' I should be in Canada in the summer, otherwise we can meet in Poland (Bialystok, for instance?), whenever you're visiting, or in Cork, Ireland. Cheers, mate. I'm really looking forward.

Well i had a brief look about town (due to my 3 yr old daughter playing up in the shops)
and the only one ive come across is Starogardzka wódka has anyone had any experience with this particular brand?? Na zdrowie!!

Starogardzka wódka

This is a cheap to mid-priced vodka, which I'm quite happy to drink. I don't think you will find it listed under 'the best vodka".

You have a problem because... it's all according to taste.

wait for a second opinion.

Have you checked the vodka drinking thread ?

Starogardzka wódka

- I've never tried this one. But, I expect, it can't be bad; I have never met with any bad Polish vodka. I suspect no Polish vodka can ever be as bad as e.g. Smirnoff.

What do you think, Wroclaw?
:)

It's a long time since I've had Smirnoff. I seem to remember it having no strength and being pretty ordinary.

It is true that almost any Polish vodka is good.

I think Bigbaldski has a problem between: presentation, quality and availability.

Bigbaldski,

Buy a small bottle of something and if you like it buy a big bottle for your father.

Smirnoff

- Much praised in ads, but disgusting to drink, to my taste. Some of the real Russian vodka (which Smirnoff isn't), e.g. Stolichnaya, is very good, I must say. Whenever I have vodka (it doesn't happen too often, Scotch - real Scotch, from Scotland, and Irish whiskey, esp. Jameson, being my favs), I reach for either Polish or Russian vodka.

Cheers, my Polish, Irish and Brit brothers.

I feared you've given up on us, mate

it's not going to happen. just had my christmas break back in berlin with the family... ;-)

why does nobody else actually mention zubrowka?
my gf says it is one of the most popular and to be honest i have never before drank anything like it... i think it is really good...
