Product details
Saska Orange with a Hint of Bourbon Vodka Liqueur is a Polish orange and bourbon liqueur from Saska, balancing sweet orange with a distinctive touch of American whiskey on a vodka base, at 30% ABV in a 50cl bottle. Labelled Pomarańcza z Nutą Bourbona, it is aromatic and sweet-and-dry rather than sugary. The bourbon accent brings vanilla and a hint of oak, which keeps the orange from tasting like a plain cordial. The producer suggests it for cocktails, desserts or a glass on its own in the evening. Whisky drinkers who like an orange twist in their glass will see the appeal at once.
Saska Orange tasting notes
- Nose: Orange peel and marmalade, with a hint of vanilla and oak.
- Palate: Sweet orange and caramel, with a bourbon-like corn sweetness and gentle spice.
- Finish: Semi-dry, with a light bitterness from the peel.
How to serve Saska Orange
Serve it over ice with a twist of orange peel, or chilled in a small glass after dinner. Dark chocolate, orange cake and pecan pie all suit it, and it works with a cheese board that includes a mature Cheddar. A bottle on the table at a winter dinner party gives guests a sweeter alternative to a whisky nightcap.
Saska Orange cocktails
Used as an orange liqueur in mixed drinks, it adds citrus and a whiskey note in one pour.
- Orange & Ginger Highball: 50 ml Saska Orange with a Hint of Bourbon in a highball full of ice, topped with 150 ml ginger ale and an orange wheel.
- Bourbon Orange Sour: shake 40 ml of the liqueur, 20 ml bourbon and 20 ml lemon juice over ice, then strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice.
How it compares
It follows the same pattern as Saska Cherry with a Hint of Rum, swapping cherry and rum for orange and whiskey; the orange is brighter and slightly drier. Saska Quince is the tarter, fruit-only member of the range. Dalkowski Chocolate with Orange shares the citrus theme but is a 15% cream liqueur rather than a 30% vodka liqueur.

Po polsku
Słodka pomarańcza i wyraźny akcent amerykańskiej whiskey tworzą razem likier Saska Pomarańcza z Nutą Bourbona, aromatyczny trunek na bazie wódki o mocy 30%, w butelce 0,5 l. Jest raczej słodko-wytrawny niż ciężko słodki: obok skórki pomarańczy i marmolady pojawiają się karmel, wanilia i lekka goryczka. Najlepiej podawać go z lodem i skórką pomarańczy, do gorzkiej czekolady lub ciasta pomarańczowego. Z ginger ale w wysokiej szklance powstaje lekki highball.
