Product details
Adam Mickiewicz Clear Plain Vodka 70cl is a clear Polish vodka named after Adam Mickiewicz, the Romantic poet, and bottled at 40% ABV. The producer says the spirit is distilled seven times before the vodka passes through several stages of filtration, so this seven times distilled vodka comes out soft and neutral rather than grainy. Its recipe takes inspiration from the nineteenth century, the era in which the poet lived and wrote. The brand celebrates him as one of the Trzej Wieszczowie, and the bottle suits anyone who likes a gentle, clean pour alongside a Polish meal.
Adam Mickiewicz vodka tasting notes
- Nose: Faint and clean, with a light cereal sweetness and a cool, almost watery freshness.
- Palate: Light-bodied and soft at the edges, with a mild peppery warmth arriving mid-palate.
- Finish: Brief, dry and tidy, leaving the mouth ready for the next bite of food.
How to drink Adam Mickiewicz vodka
Keep the bottle in the freezer and pour small measures of about 25 ml into chilled glasses, to sip slowly between bites rather than knock back. The neutral style works best with zakąski: pickled cucumbers, herring in oil, rye bread with smalec or a plate of cold roast pork. It is a natural choice for a family dinner or a name-day gathering where vodka is served at the table between courses.
Cocktails with Adam Mickiewicz vodka
A clean base like this lets fresh juice and good mixers do the talking.
- Vodka Gimlet: shake 50 ml Adam Mickiewicz, 20 ml fresh lime juice and 15 ml sugar syrup with ice, then strain into a chilled coupe.
- Bard's Highball: pour 50 ml vodka over ice in a tall glass, add 120 ml elderflower tonic and finish with a thin slice of lemon.
How it compares
Juliusz Słowacki Premium Clear Plain Vodka is the obvious companion, another seven-fold distilled bottle named after a fellow Bard, though its charcoal and rock-crystal filtration makes it a shade lighter and more mineral. Pan Tadeusz Clear Plain Vodka, named after Mickiewicz's epic poem, is made from rye and shows more grain and pepper. Adam Mickiewicz sits at the gentle, neutral end of the three.
Good to know
The brand describes its production as overseen by specialists who match each ingredient to the process. A 70cl bottle holds 28 measures of 25 ml, plenty for a long family dinner.

Po polsku
Adam Mickiewicz to polska wódka czysta o mocy 40%, w butelce 0,7 l, nazwana na cześć jednego z Trzech Wieszczów. Według producenta spirytus destylowany jest siedmiokrotnie, a gotowa wódka przechodzi kilkuetapową filtrację, inspirowaną recepturami z epoki poety. W smaku jest miękka i lekka, z delikatnym pieprzowym ciepłem i krótkim, wytrawnym finiszem. Najlepiej podawać ją prosto z zamrażarki w małych kieliszkach, do ogórków kiszonych, śledzia w oleju albo pajdy chleba ze smalcem.
