Chopin Family Reserve Extra Rare Young Potato Vodka

Product Description

Chopin Family Reserve: The World’s First Rested, Super-Premium Young Potato Vodka

Chopin Family Reserve is a vodka made to be sipped. It comes from a single exceptional crop: potatoes planted in the 2016 growing season in the rich, dark soil of the estate fields around Chopin’s distillery in Poland. The potatoes were harvested while still young, with tender skins, which gives a sweeter profile with delicate earthy notes. The spirit was then rested undisturbed for two years in 50-year-old Polish oak barrels and bottled by hand. Chopin calls it the world’s first rested, super-premium young potato vodka.

The brand says that once in a decade, if they are lucky, they find a potato variety that produces an unrivaled vodka, and the 2016 season produced some of the finest vodkas the distillery has ever made. It’s bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), it’s naturally gluten-free, and it’s a gift for the person who says they don’t like vodka.

How Chopin Family Reserve Is Made

The potatoes are grown on the Chopin distillery’s estate grounds without chemicals or pesticides, harvested young, and distilled with care to keep as much of their sweet earthiness as possible. The spirit is then rested for two years in 50-year-old Polish oak barrels, which are old enough that they give mellowness rather than strong wood flavor. It’s hand-bottled. Chopin Distillery dates to 1896.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Hints of spice accenting a gentle, sweet musk.

Palate: A gentle, earthy sweetness from the start, with understated notes of licorice and clove.

Finish: Medium-long, with a lingering warmth.

Food Pairings

The earthy sweetness pairs well with smoked fish, caviar, and blinis. It also goes with pickled vegetables, salty appetizers, oysters, and fresh fruit, and with roasted potatoes and aged cheeses.

Serving Suggestions

Chopin suggests enjoying it neat or in a classic martini. Serve it chilled, not frozen, so the texture and aromas show. For the brand’s “Mastered Martini,” stir 2.5 oz Chopin Family Reserve with 0.25 oz dry white vermouth over ice until cold, strain into a martini glass, and garnish with a lemon twist.
