Product details
Polmos Wiśniówka Cherry Cordial Vodka Liqueur is a Polish cherry vodka liqueur from Polmos with a deep sour-cherry flavour, at 40% ABV in a 50cl bottle. The label name is Wiśnia, Polish for sour cherry, and Wiśniówka is a long-established Polish flavoured vodka style. The brand describes the recipe as one handed down through generations, combining natural ingredients with quality spirit. The cherry is dark and juicy, with a firm vodka base underneath. It suits fans of classic Polish flavours and anyone looking for a cherry vodka that tastes of fruit rather than syrup.
Polmos Wiśniówka tasting notes
- Nose: Dark sour cherries, cherry stone and a hint of spice.
- Palate: Deep and juicy, with sweet-sour cherry over a firm vodka base.
- Finish: Medium length, with a dry cherry-skin edge.
How to serve Polmos Wiśniówka
Serve it chilled in a kieliszek with roast duck, game pâté or a few squares of dark chocolate. Wiśniówka at Christmas is a familiar sight in many Polish homes, poured alongside makowiec and gingerbread over the holiday. For a warmer glass on a cold night, add a measure to hot black tea with a strip of orange peel.
Polmos Wiśniówka cocktails
- Cherry Manhattan: stir 40 ml Polmos Wiśniówka, 20 ml sweet vermouth and a dash of aromatic bitters over ice and strain into a chilled coupe.
- Winter Cherry Punch: combine 40 ml of the liqueur with 100 ml warm apple juice, a cinnamon stick and a slice of orange in a heatproof glass.
How it compares
Nalewka Babuni Cherry is a gentler 18% nalewka, and Saska Cherry with a Hint of Rum adds dark rum notes at 30%. The Wiśniówka keeps the spotlight on the cherry itself, with a fuller vodka character than either. Among the four Polmos flavours we stock, it is the deepest and most wintry, set against the brighter Cytrynówka and Gruszkówka.
