Sobieski Vodka Review

ByThe Barkeep

sobieski vodkaWe recently got our hands on a bottle of Sobieski Vodka, a premium vodka from Poland. Made from Golden Dankowski rye and named after a Polish king, this is real deal. In fact, Sobieski is the best-selling premium vodka in Poland.

And they know their vodka in Poland. It is said to be the birth place of vodka, though, of course, this claim is contested by others.

They also know in Poland that good vodka doesn’t need to cost a small fortune. I am always in favor of that, realizing that most vodkas are basically the same. Purity is what counts. On the nose, this purity is evident. I could smell the vodka without the alcoholicy sting of the not-so-good stuff.

On the tongue, Sobieski is mellow and well, virtually tasteless. Tastes just like a premium vodka should and with very little if any aftertaste.

Sobieski is great for cocktails and sipping and only $11–$15 bucks!

  • Drambuie Review

    ByRachel Halpren

    According to lore, Drambuie is fit for a King. In fact, it was allegedly invented by a Prince of Scotland who would have been King of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland if his insurrection has succeeded. We are speaking of Prince Charles Stuart, whose lineage included many of the Kings of Scotland and a few in England after the two countries united under James Stuart in 1603. In 1745, Charles sailed to Scotland and with the aid of the Scottish Highlanders, a fierce bunch of men, began their quest to retake Scotland for a “Scottish King”. During this period, there was much strife in England and Scotland. In Scotland, it was the Highlanders versus the Lowlanders, who had benefited the most from the merger of England and Scotland. The Highlanders wanted to be left alone with their Scotch and were no fans of the heavy taxes levied on their fine beverage.

  • St. Francis Cocktail – Clock Bar – San Francisco

    ByThe Barkeep

    Building on the success of his restaurant at the St. Francis Hotel, Michael Mina has converted a former jewelry store into a bar worthy of a scene out of Mad Men. The bar was designed in “neo-mod” style, reminiscent of cocktail lounges 50 years ago. I was impressed by the extensive cocktail menu, fresh ingredients…
