As a single distilled potato spirit, it keeps more of the raw material's character than a vodka distilled several times. In Polish it would be described as \u003cem lang=\"pl\"\u003eleżakowany\u003c\/em\u003e, meaning cask-rested, and it suits whisky and brandy drinkers curious about Polish spirits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Young Potato tasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vanilla, toasted oak and an earthy note of new potato.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rounded and slightly oily, with caramel, baking spice, gentle oak tannin and a savoury potato core.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, dry and woody, with a hint of pepper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive years in new oak give it a warm golden colour, far removed from Chopin's crystal-clear bottlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to drink Chopin Vintage Young Potato\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePour it neat at room temperature into a tulip or nosing glass, as you would an aged brandy, and give it a few minutes before the first sip.

For oak influence from malted barley instead, J.A. Baczewski Single Malt Whisky is richer in baking spice and sweeter on the nose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe young potatoes for this release were all lifted in June 2013, a single-harvest detail more common in wine than in spirits.

Ten ziemniaczany destylat ma 42,7% alkoholu i trafia do sprzedaży w butelce 0,5 l zapakowanej w elegancką tubę upominkową. W odróżnieniu od czystych wódek Chopin ma barwę oraz nuty wanilii, karmelu, przypraw korzennych i dębu na ziemistej bazie. Warto pić go w temperaturze pokojowej, w kieliszku typu tulipan, z dojrzałym twardym serem lub gorzką czekoladą.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Chopin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55091893469570,"sku":null,"price":79.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/8319\/2738\/files\/chopin-vintage-young-potato-mlody-ziemniak-wodkacompany.jpg?v=1743457440","url":"https:\/\/wodkacompany.com\/products\/chopin-vintage-young-potato-vodka-in-tube-50cl-42-7","provider":"Wodka Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
