Product details
Żołądkowa Gorzka Fig is a Polish fig vodka liqueur that enriches the bitter-sweet Żołądkowa Gorzka recipe with fig extract, bottled at 28% ABV in a 50cl bottle. On Polish shelves it reads Żołądkowa Gorzka z Figą, "with fig". Figs have a long history in old Polish cooking, where they added richness, and here they give a darker, more layered taste than the fruit flavours alone. It is a fig liqueur for slow evenings, cheese boards and anyone who likes dried fruit and spice in a glass.
Tasting Żołądkowa Gorzka Fig
- Nose: Dried fig, dates, brown sugar and warm baking spice.
- Palate: Rich and jammy, with fig, raisin and caramel set against a light herbal bitterness.
- Finish: Long and warming, with spice and a hint of toffee.
How to drink Żołądkowa Gorzka Fig
Serve it at cellar temperature or lightly chilled in a small tulip glass, and sip it slowly. It goes with blue cheese, aged Gouda, roast pork with prunes and Polish gingerbread (piernik). This Polish liqueur fits the Christmas season well, poured alongside the cake and coffee that follow a festive meal.

How it compares
Fig is deeper and more dessert-like than Żołądkowa Gorzka Black Cherry, which is juicier and brighter. It shares its 28% strength with Żołądkowa Gorzka with Mint, but is spiced and rich where the mint version is cool and fresh. Żołądkowa Colonial Cayemites Bay is drier and more spirit-forward, swapping fig for bitter orange and brandy.
Good to know
Like the rest of the Żołądkowa Gorzka family, the fig version is made by Stock Polska. The Żołądkowa Gorzka Fig 50cl bottle makes a warm, wintry gift alongside a box of dates or a wedge of Stilton. Wodka Company can post Żołądkowa Gorzka Fig to you anywhere in the UK.
