Sobieski Estate Single Rye Vodka

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.
