Product details
Biały Bocian Cherry Cordial is a Polish cherry flavoured vodka, enriched with a macerate of fresh cherries and bottled at 40% ABV in a 50cl bottle. The Kordial Wiśniowy vodka is made at standard vodka strength, so its cherry tastes drier and more spirit-led than the fruit in a syrupy liqueur. Expect sour cherry and a hint of cherry stone rather than jam. It appeals to vodka drinkers who want fruit flavour without much sugar, and it is at home on the table with a hearty Polish meal.
What Biały Bocian Cherry Cordial tastes like
- Nose: Sour cherry, cherry stone and a hint of almond.
- Palate: Dry-leaning, with dark cherry fruit, light sweetness and clean grain spirit underneath.
- Finish: Warm and fairly long, with cherry skin and a faint marzipan note.
The colour is a deep garnet red.
How to drink Biały Bocian Cherry Cordial
Chill the bottle well, to about 4–6°C, and pour small measures into a kieliszek to sip slowly with food. Its dry cherry character suits roast duck, pork with plum sauce, chicken liver pâté or a few squares of dark chocolate. It also makes a fruity alternative to plain vodka on a table of Polish zakąski during a family dinner or a winter gathering.

How it compares
Biały Bocian sells three cherry drinks, and this cordial is the driest and most vodka-like of them. Biały Bocian Cherry, at 28%, is a sweet-sour liqueur made for sipping over ice, while Biały Bocian Wiśniówka at 25% is softer and more dessert-like still. Choose the cordial when you want a true cherry vodka, with the clean structure of a spirit rather than the sweetness of a liqueur.
Good to know
Polmos Bielsko-Biała produces this cordial alongside the brand's fruit liqueurs. The 50cl bottle is a sensible size for a fruit vodka sipped in small measures, and it makes a neat gift next to a box of dark chocolates. Wodka Company delivers Biały Bocian Cherry Cordial 50cl to UK addresses from its base in north London.
Po polsku
Biały Bocian Cherry Cordial, sprzedawany w Polsce jako Kordial Wiśniowy, to wódka smakowa o mocy 40% w butelce 0,5 l. Smak zawdzięcza maceratowi ze świeżych wiśni, ale ponieważ jest to wódka, a nie likier, owoc wypada tu wytrawniej i mniej słodko. Wyczuwalne są ciemna wiśnia, pestka i delikatny migdał, a na końcu nuta marcepanu. Najlepiej podawać go schłodzonego do 4–6°C, w kieliszku do wódki, z pieczoną kaczką, pasztetem lub gorzką czekoladą.
