Chopin Potato Vodka, 70 cl

Product Information

All stages of the Chopin process from the harvest, fermentation, and distillation, to bottling, are primarily done by hand. The result is not just vodka, it’s the spirit of Chopin.” Grains, wheat, rice, beets, and potatoes contain sugar and starch, so vodka can be made by fermenting and distilling them.

Chopin Potato Vodka is the world’s most awarded potato vodka. We find that it’s a bit of a paradox — on one hand, it’s delicate and soft on the palate, but there is a distinctively dark, earthy aroma that could only come from the potatoes. Aftertaste: 4.5 – It’s not part 1 of the aftertaste that kills you, it is part 2 though. Part 1 is nice and creamy, whereas part 2 is just bad.Value: 4.5 – That is – just a bit too much. It is not worth the quality to make it a budget premium vodka, and it’s too much to be a cheap vodka. Potato vodka is special because it doesn’t taste or feel like the vodkas you’re probably familiar with. It has a fleshier mouthfeel with a darker, earthier profile. Only three percent of the vodkas out in the market are made from potatoes, with a huge chunk of them being made from grains, wheat, or corn.

Vodka made from potatoes is often fleshier and fuller in the mouth, with earthy vegetable tones. Contrary to popular belief, Russian vodkas are not made from potatoes because the soil in the country does not grow spuds well.While vodkas are basically flavorless, it’s not the same with potato vodkas, as they tend to have a vegetal, earthy flavor profile and a fleshier mouthfeel. You’ll probably find that most vodkas out in the market are made from grains like rye, barley, and wheat.
