Product details
Wyborowa Blackcurrant 50cl is a Polish blackcurrant vodka liqueur from Wyborowa, made with natural blackcurrant juice and bottled at 30% ABV. Known at home as Czarna Porzeczka, it uses fruit from the Sandomierz region, an area famous for its blackcurrant plantations. A high share of juice gives an intense berry flavour with only a hint of sweetness, so the fruit leads rather than the sugar. It suits anyone who likes tart, dark berries and wants a fruit liqueur that works both neat and in sparkling drinks.
Wyborowa Blackcurrant tasting notes
- Nose: Ripe blackcurrant and a green note of blackcurrant leaf.
- Palate: Intense and juicy, with tart berry fruit and gentle sweetness.
- Finish: Fruity and slightly tannic, like the skin of the berry.
In the glass it shows a deep purple-red, close to the colour of the fruit itself.
How to drink Wyborowa Blackcurrant
Serve it chilled in a small glass, or over ice with a twist of lemon to sharpen the berries. Its tartness suits rich food: cheesecake, dark chocolate, roast duck or venison with a fruit sauce. It is a good bottle for a winter dinner party, poured with dessert, and it also brightens a glass of fizz at a celebration.
Wyborowa Blackcurrant cocktails
- Polish Kir: pour 25 ml into a flute and top with 100 ml chilled dry sparkling wine.
- Blackcurrant Tonic: build 50 ml over ice in a highball, add 120 ml tonic water and squeeze in a lime wedge.
- Berry Sour: shake 40 ml Wyborowa Blackcurrant, 20 ml lemon juice and 10 ml sugar syrup with ice and strain over fresh ice.
How it compares
Wyborowa Cherry is lighter and more sweet-sour, while Wyborowa Plum is rounder and softer. Blackcurrant is the deepest and most intense of the Wyborowa fruit liqueurs. Compared with Belvedere Organic Infusions Blackberry and Lemongrass, a dry 40% infused vodka, it is sweeter, juicier and lower in ABV.
Good to know
At 30% ABV it is classed as a vodka-based liqueur rather than a vodka, which explains its softer, juicier style. The 50cl bottle is a handy size for a dinner party or a present for the host. Wodka Company ships Wyborowa Blackcurrant from our London shop to customers throughout the UK.
Po polsku
Wyborowa Blackcurrant (Czarna Porzeczka) to likier na bazie wódki o mocy 30%, w butelce 0,5 l, z dużym udziałem naturalnego soku z czarnej porzeczki. Owoce pochodzą z regionu sandomierskiego, znanego z plantacji tego krzewu. Smak jest intensywny i soczysty, z kwaskowatym owocem, zielonym akcentem liścia porzeczki i tylko odrobiną słodyczy. Warto podać go schłodzonego w małym kieliszku lub na lodzie, a odrobina dolana do wytrawnego wina musującego daje polską wersję kira.
