Chopin - Single Corn - Corn vodka - 40%
Chopin vodka is produced in Krzesk, Poland . The family business was founded by Tadeusz Dorda who bought a distillery that had been in operation since 1896. The family has worked together for several generations with local farmers, who grow potatoes, rye and wheat. The master distiller, Waldemar Durakiewicz, has been distilling for Chopin for over 40 years. It uses a 19th century copper column , making it one of the oldest stills in Poland. After taking over the business in 2003, the Dorda family restored the distillery and its outbuildings, and modernized the bottling and packaging facilities. Aside from these necessary improvements, little has changed in over a hundred years. The same production techniques as those that came before are used, working slowly and with meticulous attention to detail. This limits the quantity of vodka produced, but guarantees its quality.
This edition is part of the Single Collection which aims to compare vodkas distilled from different bases: potato, wheat, rye, oats, barley and corn. This vodka is made from corn distilled in 2015 . It has slightly smoky notes.
