Rodionov & Sons Polugar N°3 Caraway (70cl)

Polugar N°3 Caraway is made by triple distillation from rye mash, flavoured with caraway seeds and coriander. The Polugar name comes from an old Russian distillers' test, and the style was revived in Poland in 2010 by the Rodionov family using practices and recipes said to be about 250 years old. Before 1895, vodka was a cereal distillate made in copper stills and was called bread wine or Polugar. This expression can be drunk neat or used in cocktails in place of vodka for a stronger, more characterful flavour. On the palate it is dense and spicy, with a rich profile of buttery notes from caraway, coriander, dried spices and wildflowers.
