Product details
Toruńska Gold Slivovitz is a Polish plum brandy, or slivovitz, from the Toruńska range, with a deep, rich plum flavour at 55% ABV in a 50cl bottle. Its Polish name is Śliwowica Polska Złota. The plum is intense yet balanced, and the alcohol carries the delicate fruit rather than covering it, on the nose and on the palate. Slivovitz is the traditional plum spirit of Central Europe, poured in small glasses at family celebrations. With 55% ABV, it is a spirit for slow sipping in modest measures. It suits fans of fruit brandies such as Calvados or a Williams pear eau de vie.
Toruńska Gold Slivovitz tasting notes
- Nose: Ripe plum, plum stone and a hint of almond.
- Palate: Concentrated plum fruit, dry, with a little spice.
- Finish: Long and dry, with lingering stone-fruit notes.
How to drink Toruńska Gold Slivovitz
Serve it at cool room temperature, around 16–18°C, in a small tulip glass, and pour modest measures. A drop of cold water can open up the fruit. It pairs with hard cheese, cured meats, a plum tart or a strong coffee at the end of a meal. It suits a slow toast at a family celebration or a contemplative glass after a big dinner.
Toruńska Gold Slivovitz cocktails
- Plum & Ginger: 25 ml Toruńska Gold Slivovitz over ice in a highball, topped with 125 ml ginger ale and a slice of orange.

How it compares
Nalewka Lwówecka Plums in Alcohol is a sweet 15.5% plum liqueur with whole fruit; the slivovitz is a dry plum brandy at 55%, served in far smaller measures. Within the brand, Toruńska Clear Vodka is a 40% grain vodka, while this bottle is built on plums. Compared with Western fruit brandies, it keeps a riper, jammier plum character.
Good to know
The Toruńska Gold Slivovitz 50cl bottle lasts a long time, since it is poured in small measures, and makes a classic gift for fans of fruit brandy. A Polish plum brandy also earns its keep in the kitchen, splashed into a plum compote or a game sauce.

Najlepiej podawać ją w temperaturze 16–18°C w małym kieliszku typu tulipan, w niewielkich porcjach, i pić powoli. Pasuje do twardych serów, wędlin, ciasta ze śliwkami lub filiżanki kawy.
Frequently asked questions
Is Toruńska Gold Slivovitz a vodka?
No, Toruńska Gold Slivovitz is a fruit brandy distilled from plums, not a vodka made from grain. Slivovitz is the traditional plum spirit of Central Europe and the Balkans, and it is unsweetened, unlike plum liqueurs.
What does Śliwowica Polska Złota mean?
Śliwowica is the Polish word for slivovitz, from śliwka, plum, and złota means golden. The full name of Toruńska Gold Slivovitz therefore translates as “Polish golden slivovitz”.
Can you cook with Toruńska Gold Slivovitz?
Yes, a spoonful of Toruńska Gold Slivovitz lifts plum jam, stewed plums or a sauce for roast pork, and it is good for soaking dried fruit before baking a Christmas cake. Use small amounts, as the plum flavour is concentrated.
