KAVKA VODKA — Vodka how it used to taste

Drawing on the long vodka making heritage of Poland, Kavka Vodka takes us back to a time in the 19th century when many distilleries would produce spirits that emphasised taste and individuality rather than trying to filter them out.

Following a traditional method that was famed for producing some of the best vodkas, Kavka blends fine rye and wheat spirits and then adds small quantities of aged pot stilled fruit spirits – apple and plum. The fruits are distilled at the ancient market town of Sandomierz in the heart of Poland's orchards, using old varietals that give an amazing intensity.

Founder, Jan Woroniecki, was born in the UK to a Polish father and has been involved in running Eastern European restaurants for many years, gaining decades of experience in tasting vodka.
