Product details
Toruńska Quince Vodka Liqueur is a Polish quince vodka liqueur from the Toruńska range, made with a macerate of quince fruit, at 36% ABV in a 50cl bottle. The Polish name is Toruńska Pigwowa, and the producer pitches it as a memory of the Polish golden autumn kept in a bottle. The quince macerate gives a fragrant, distinctive taste and aroma, tart first and gently sweet behind. The recommended serve is simple: one ice cube. It suits drinkers who like aromatic fruit with a firm structure.
Toruńska Quince tasting notes
- Nose: Fragrant quince, lemon peel and a hint of honey.
- Palate: Tart and aromatic, with ripe quince and gentle sweetness.
- Finish: Fresh and tangy, ending on a light bitterness.
How to serve Toruńska Quince
Pour it over a single ice cube in a tumbler, as the producer suggests, or serve it chilled in a small glass. It goes well with a cheese board, roast pork with prunes or a pear and walnut salad. October and November suit it best, when the first fires are lit at home and quinces appear at Polish markets.
What to mix with Toruńska Quince
- Quince & Elderflower: 40 ml Toruńska Quince over ice in a highball, topped with 120 ml elderflower tonic and a lemon twist.

How it compares
Saska Quince is a softer 30% version, and Toruńska Cranberry is the brand's other tart fruit at 37.5%. This bottle sits between them: aromatic quince with more structure than the Saska. Nalewka Babuni Quince, at half the strength, is the gentlest of our quince bottles.
Good to know

Po polsku
Według producenta Toruńska Pigwowa ma przypominać złotą polską jesień. To likier na bazie wódki o mocy 36% w butelce 0,5 l, przygotowany z maceratu z owoców pigwy. Pachnie aromatyczną pigwą, skórką cytryny i odrobiną miodu, a w smaku jest cierpka, z umiarkowaną słodyczą i lekką goryczką na końcu. Producent poleca ją z jedną kostką lodu w niskiej szklance. Dobrze towarzyszy serom, wieprzowinie i szarlotce, a z tonikiem o smaku czarnego bzu tworzy lekki long drink.
