Product details
Wyborowa Cherry 50cl is a Polish sour cherry vodka liqueur from Wyborowa, made with juice from freshly picked cherries grown along the Vistula and bottled at 30% ABV. The banks of the river are known for cherries well suited to fruit processing, and their juice gives this Wiśnia a natural sweet-tart balance. Sour cherry is one of the best-loved flavours in Polish drinking culture, from homemade nalewka to shop-bought liqueurs, and this bottle sits firmly in that tradition. It suits anyone who likes fruit with a bit of bite rather than sugary sweetness.
Wyborowa Cherry tasting notes
- Nose: Sour cherry with a hint of almond from the stone.
- Palate: Juicy and bright, with sweet-tart cherry and a light body.
- Finish: Tangy cherry, medium length.
How to drink Wyborowa Cherry
Serve it chilled, neat in a small glass or over a couple of ice cubes. The tangy fruit suits black forest gateau, pan-fried duck breast, a cheeseboard with soft goat's cheese and cherry-filled pierogi. Pour it after a family dinner or during the Christmas season, when cherry flavours turn up in cakes and compotes across Poland.
Cocktails with Wyborowa Cherry
- Cherry Sour: shake 50 ml Wyborowa Cherry, 20 ml fresh lemon juice and 10 ml sugar syrup with ice and strain into a tumbler over fresh ice.
- Cherry Tonic: build 40 ml Wyborowa Cherry and 10 ml lime juice over ice in a highball and top with 120 ml tonic water.
How it compares
Wyborowa Blackcurrant is deeper and more intense, and Wyborowa Plum is softer and jammier. Cherry is the brightest of the red and dark fruit options, with the most noticeable acidity. Against the classic Wyborowa Vodka at 40%, it is lower in ABV, sweeter and plainly fruit-led.
Good to know
A Wiśnia vodka liqueur like this one is bottled below the minimum strength for vodka, so it is softer and easier to sip slowly. The 50cl bottle is a good size for a Christmas table or a thank-you gift. Order Wyborowa Cherry from Wodka Company and we will send it from London to any address in the UK.
Po polsku
Sok ze świeżo zerwanych wiśni znad Wisły to podstawa Wyborowa Cherry (Wiśnia), likieru na bazie wódki o mocy 30% w butelce 0,5 l. Nadwiślańskie sady słyną z wiśni dobrych do przetwórstwa, a sok nadaje trunkowi naturalną równowagę słodyczy i kwasowości. W aromacie jest wiśnia z lekką nutą migdała od pestki, a smak pozostaje jasny, soczysty i wyraźnie kwaskowy. Najlepiej podawać go schłodzonego, czystego lub z lodem, do ciasta czekoladowego, pieczonej kaczki albo pierogów z wiśniami.
