Chopin Rye is a single-ingredient Polish vodka distilled entirely from rye at the family-owned Chopin distillery in Krzesk, Poland, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV) in a 1.75-liter bottle.
Chopin Rye is precisely composed to showcase the complex, spicy warmth of Polish rye. It is a particularly expressive vodka with a peppery liveliness that counters the idea that vodka should simply be smooth, and whisky drinkers generally gravitate to its complexity. Clean and silky with a characteristic peppery snap, it is equally at home straight up, in a spirited Bloody Mary, or balancing sweet cocktails.
Subtle aromas of rye bread lead to vibrant notes of crushed black pepper on a medium body, with a short, crisp finish of mineral, vanilla-taffy and delicate pepper.
The frosted bottle with its red cap makes it a handsome gift.
Rye gives vodka a fuller body and a spicier character than wheat or potato.
Poland has a centuries-old vodka-making tradition.
Keep it in the freezer for a thick, silky pour.
Serve it neat in a chilled glass with pickles and rye bread.
