Product details
Soplica Premium Vodka is a clear Polish vodka from Soplica, made from a blend of carefully selected grains in which rye leads and a small addition of wheat softens the profile, bottled at 40% ABV in a 50cl bottle. Sold at home as Soplica Szlachetna vodka, a name that means noble, it is the brand's straight grain spirit rather than one of its flavoured liqueurs. Rye gives it a recognisably Polish character, while the wheat keeps the texture mild and rounded. A four-stage production process is designed to deliver a clean spirit for serving ice-cold or mixing.
Soplica Premium Vodka tasting notes
- Nose: Clean grain with a light rye-bread note.
- Palate: Soft and slightly sweet, with a gentle peppery rye character and a rounded texture.
- Finish: Clean and medium length, with a faint cereal dryness.
How to drink Soplica Premium Vodka
The Polish way to serve Soplica vodka is straight from the freezer in a small chilled glass, sipped alongside food rather than on its own. Pair it with zakąski such as pickled cucumbers, herring in oil, rye bread with smalec and cold cuts. It belongs at weddings, name days and long family dinners where toasts are made between courses.
Cocktails with Soplica Premium Vodka
- Vodka Martini: 60 ml Soplica Premium and 10 ml dry vermouth, stirred with ice and strained into a chilled martini glass, with a lemon twist.
- Apple and Cinnamon Highball: 50 ml Soplica Premium over ice in a tall glass with 120 ml cloudy apple juice and a pinch of ground cinnamon.
- Bloody Mary: 50 ml Soplica Premium, 120 ml tomato juice and 10 ml lemon juice with Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, salt and pepper, stirred over ice and finished with a celery stick.
How it compares
Unlike Soplica Cherry at 26% or Soplica Old Polish Original at 38%, this bottle adds no fruit, honey or spice, so it is the one to choose for martinis and classic serves. Compared with a neutral wheat vodka, this rye vodka shows slightly more grain flavour and a peppery edge, while the wheat stops it feeling sharp.
Good to know
The Soplica name comes from the noble Soplica family in Adam Mickiewicz's epic poem Pan Tadeusz, a fitting reference for a brand rooted in Polish tradition. Soplica Premium Vodka 50cl fits easily in a freezer drawer, ready for guests who like a Polish rye and wheat vodka served the traditional way. Wodka Company sends Soplica Premium Vodka to customers across the UK from London.
Po polsku
Soplica Premium Vodka, w Polsce sprzedawana jako Soplica Szlachetna, to wódka czysta, zbożowa, o zawartości alkoholu 40%, w butelce 0,5 l. Polski charakter zawdzięcza żytu, a łagodność niewielkiemu dodatkowi pszenicy; produkcja przebiega w czterech etapach. W smaku jest miękka i lekko słodkawa, z delikatnie pieprzną nutą żyta i czystym, zbożowym finiszem. Najlepiej podawać ją po polsku, prosto z zamrażarki, z zakąskami: ogórkami kiszonymi, śledziem i chlebem ze smalcem.
