Product details
Chopin Wheat Vodka 70cl is a Polish vodka from Chopin made entirely from Polish wheat and bottled at 40% ABV. It is the lightest and sweetest of Chopin's three single-ingredient vodkas, with a floral nose, a soft cake-like aroma and a caramel note that carries into the finish. Like its siblings, it is distilled four times and filtered five times. As a Polish wheat vodka for sipping, it suits people who usually find clear spirits too sharp, and in Polish it is simply wódka pszeniczna.
Chopin Wheat tasting notes
- Nose: Spring flowers and a sweet bakery smell, like a sponge just out of the oven.
- Palate: Soft and light-bodied, gently sweet, with vanilla and caramel.
- Finish: Balanced and rounded, with caramel lingering.
How to drink Chopin Wheat Vodka
Serve it chilled in a small glass and take it slowly, because the floral notes fade if it is too cold. Delicate food suits it: seafood, white fish, fresh cheeses or pierogi ruskie, the dumplings filled with potato and curd cheese. It is the Chopin bottle to open on a warm evening or at a summer garden lunch, neat or in light, fruit-led drinks.
Summer cocktails with Chopin Wheat
- French Martini: shake 50 ml Chopin Wheat, 15 ml raspberry liqueur and 40 ml pineapple juice with ice and strain into a chilled coupe.
- Strawberry Smash: muddle three strawberries with 10 ml sugar syrup, add 50 ml vodka and 15 ml lemon juice, shake with ice and strain over crushed ice.
How it compares
Where Chopin Rye Vodka is dry and spicy and Chopin Potato Vodka is creamy and full, the wheat expression is the most delicate of the trio. Ogiński Vodka, made from corn, shares its soft sweetness but tastes more buttery and less floral. That makes Chopin Wheat the easiest of these to sip on its own, with no mixer at all.
Good to know
Each Chopin vodka is produced from one raw material, and wheat joined the range after the original potato bottling of 1993. A 70cl bottle pairs nicely with the potato and rye versions as a tasting gift. Wodka Company can deliver Chopin Wheat Vodka anywhere in the UK, sent from our shop in north London.
Po polsku
Najlżejsza i najsłodsza z trzech wódek Chopin, Chopin Wheat Vodka, powstaje w całości z polskiej pszenicy. To pszeniczna wódka czysta o mocy 40%, w butelce 0,7 l, która przechodzi te same cztery destylacje i pięć filtracji co pozostałe wódki marki. Kwiatowy zapach kojarzy się z ciastem przed pieczeniem, a w miękkim smaku pojawia się wanilia i karmel, który zostaje na finiszu. Warto podać ją schłodzoną w małym kieliszku do białej ryby, owoców morza lub pierogów ruskich.
