Product details
Grzaniec Galicyjski Hot Caramel is a Polish caramel mulled wine at 12% ABV, sold in a 1L bottle for serving hot. On the Polish label it is Gorący Karmel. Toffee-like caramel rounds off the spice blend and the clove aroma typical of the brand, turning a classic winter drink into something closer to a dessert in a mug. It is a sweet, grown-up treat for late-autumn evenings or the first cold weekend of December.
What Hot Caramel tastes like
- Aroma: Burnt sugar, toffee and clove.
- Taste: Sweet and mellow, with caramel layered over spiced wine.
- Finish: Soft, buttery and spiced, with caramel lingering.
How to serve Grzaniec Hot Caramel
Heat it gently to about 70°C, never to the boil, and pour it into mugs or latte glasses. Salted caramel desserts, apple strudel and baked cheesecake all suit it, as do roasted nuts. A pinch of sea salt on top balances the sweetness, and a cinnamon stick makes a handy stirrer when you serve it to guests.
Hot Caramel serves to try
- Caramel Apple Mug: combine 150 ml hot Grzaniec Hot Caramel with 50 ml warm apple juice and a small pinch of sea salt.
- Caramel Pear Cup: warm 150 ml Hot Caramel with 50 ml pear juice and one star anise, then strain into a mug.
How it compares
Hot Caramel is sweeter and rounder than the original Grzaniec Galicyjski, and swaps the fruit focus of Apple Pie for toffee. If you like caramel notes in spirits too, Dębowa Black Boar pairs caramel with coffee in a 40% flavoured vodka that is served cold rather than hot.
Good to know
Like the rest of the range, Hot Caramel comes from the Polish wine producer Ambra. Wodka Company sends Grzaniec Galicyjski Hot Caramel 1L across the UK from London, and a bottle of Gorący Karmel mulled wine makes a cheerful addition to a winter hamper.
Po polsku
Najbardziej deserowy charakter ma Grzaniec Galicyjski Gorący Karmel (Hot Caramel), czyli grzaniec o smaku karmelu, z mocą 12%, w butelce 1 l. Karmel przypominający toffi zaokrągla mieszankę przypraw i goździkowy aromat znany z innych wersji. Smak jest słodki i łagodny, z karmelem ułożonym na korzennym winie i maślanym finiszem. Wystarczy delikatnie podgrzać go do około 70°C i rozlać do kubków; dobrze towarzyszy strudlowi jabłkowemu, sernikowi i deserom ze słonym karmelem.
