Sobieski Vodka Plastic

Detailed Description

Sobieski vodka is named for Poland’s King Jan Sobieski III. Their marketing prides itself on the tradition of Polish vodka production–including rye as a base, a lack of glitz, and the acknowledgment that multiple distillations are not necessarily making the product better (this is true, by the way). This vodka is made with Polish Dankowski Rye grain with water from the Oligocene springs. Vodka Sobieski had been distilled since 1864. In the autumn of 2007, Sobieski was ranked as #1 vodka by the Beverage Tasting Institute, based on a blind tasting of 108 different vodkas.
