It is great poured over ice and sipping in the evening. After an expansive search I was only able to find this product at the Liquor Barn and have been a customer of theirs for several years now. One of the older industrially produced brands of Polish vodka, Soplica Vodka was first madein 1891. Its creator, Boleslaw Kasprowicz, founded the Factory of Vodka and Liqueur in Gniezno where it was created in 1888 and a replica of the first bottling is held in the Museum of the Origins of the Polish State in the same city to this day. DEEP TASTE: Bottled with a unique formula, our vodka is crowned with pleasant sweet notes and a clear texture. Perfect to enjoy in a glass, in addition to your coffee, or with your favourite dessert.

The recipes used for Soplica vodkas and liqueurs were developed by Kasprowicz himself, recipes which are followed today. He authored a range of formulas, which he initialized (along with a picture of a carp) and documented in a book called ‘Recepturarz’. Kasprowicz also began a custom at Soplica of naming products with references to Polish tradition and literature, a custom that can still be seen on modern versions of Soplica vodka.

During World War I, Kasprowicz's factory in Gniezno suspended its activity and Kasprowicz himself became involved in nationwide efforts to regain Poland's independence as a sovereign state following 123 years of foreign rule.
