Product details
Wyborowa Vodka 70cl is a classic Polish rye vodka from Wyborowa, made entirely from rye grain and bottled at 40% ABV. It carries the Polish Vodka geographical indication, which means every stage of production takes place in Poland. The rye gives it a distinct, gently sweet taste and a velvety texture, and centuries of Polish distilling tradition meet modern technology in its production. The name comes from wybór, choice, and it suits anyone after a reliable, versatile Polish vodka for both the table and the cocktail shaker.

How to drink Wyborowa Vodka
Serve it ice-cold in small glasses, sipping slowly between bites of herring in sour cream, ham with horseradish, potato salad or a slice of pâté. It is a standard bottle at Polish celebrations, from name days to New Year's Eve, and it works just as well in a long drink on a summer evening.

Po polsku
Wyborowa to klasyczna żytnia wódka czysta, wytwarzana w całości z ziarna żyta, o mocy 40% i pojemności 0,7 l. Nosi oznaczenie geograficzne Polska Wódka, więc każdy etap produkcji odbywa się w Polsce. W smaku jest aksamitna, z łagodną słodyczą żyta i lekką przyprawowością, a finisz pozostaje rześki. Najlepiej podawać ją mocno schłodzoną do śledzia, ogórków kiszonych lub żurku, a na lżejszy drink połączyć z syropem z czarnego bzu i wodą sodową.
