Product details
Krupnik Plum is a Polish plum vodka liqueur from Krupnik that captures the soft sweetness of sun-ripened plums, at 28% ABV in a 50cl bottle. Sold in Poland as Śliwkowy, it has a rounded, jammy fruit character and a gentle alcohol lift that sharpens the flavour rather than dominating it. The style recalls a homemade plum nalewka, the kind many Polish families still make each autumn. It suits anyone who likes fruit with depth rather than sharpness, and it fits autumn dinners and the long Christmas season.
The taste of Krupnik Plum
- Nose: Ripe purple plums, prune and a hint of cinnamon.
- Palate: Mellow and sweet, with plum jam, dried fruit and a light almond note.
- Finish: Warm and fruity, of medium length.
How to drink Krupnik Plum
Serve it slightly chilled in a small glass, with plum cake (placek ze śliwkami), roast duck or a cheese board. Dried plums turn up in many Polish Christmas Eve dishes, including the traditional dried-fruit kompot, so a glass of plum liqueur suits the season. It also makes a calm nightcap after a long autumn walk.
What to mix with Krupnik Plum
- Plum and Apple Highball: fill a tall glass with ice, add 50 ml Krupnik Plum and 120 ml cloudy apple juice, then drop in a cinnamon stick.
- Plum Tea Toddy: stir 40 ml into 150 ml hot black tea with a slice of orange and a clove.
How it compares
It matches Krupnik Cherry for strength but tastes softer and less tart. Compared with Krupnik Quince at 30%, plum is jammier where quince is more aromatic and citrus-like. For a darker, herbal take on fruit, Krupnik Bitter Cherry adds spice and a drier finish.
Good to know
Plums are one of the great fruits of Polish orchards, and plum liqueurs and brandies have deep roots in the country. The Krupnik Plum 50cl bottle is a warm, seasonal gift for an autumn dinner. Wodka Company sends Krupnik Plum from north London to buyers across the UK.
Po polsku
Charakterem Krupnik Śliwkowy (Plum) przypomina domową nalewkę ze śliwek. To owocowy likier na bazie wódki o mocy 28%, w butelce 0,5 l, o smaku słodkich, dobrze dojrzałych owoców. Jest okrągły i dżemowy: powidła, suszone śliwki, cynamon i lekka nuta migdała, a alkohol podkreśla owoc, zamiast go przykrywać. Podawać lekko schłodzony do placka ze śliwkami, pieczonej kaczki lub serów. Z mętnym sokiem jabłkowym i laską cynamonu tworzy prosty long drink.
