Potocki Wodka (the “w” is the Polish spelling of “vodka,” the “v” is the Russian way of spelling it) is a premium vodka that has been produced in Poland by the Potocki family since 1784.

Considered one of the best vodka in the world, Potochki Wodka has won many accolades and is a favourite amongst vodka connoisseurs. This vodka is made from superior quality rye, produced in small batches and distilled two times at low speeds and bottled without filter to retain its full flavour.

Jan-Roman Potocki, CEO and heir of Potocki distillery was in Hong Kong last week to introduce the vodka at a private dinner party he hosted at the Kee Club. A distinctly, themed Polish night as musicians were flown specially to provide a touch of authentic Polish entertainment.

Chef Bonelli of the Kee Club and Sam Jeveons, mixologist extraordinaire created a series of delightful cocktails using Polish inspired ingredients to pair with a five course menu that can be described as Polish inspired fused with local touches.

Dinner was goose liver beetroot pudding, followed by cod with cabbage, potato and sour cream. The most interesting dish will have to be the smoked pork belly served with rye, apple, truffle, horseradish and mayo. The lemon honey sorbet served with Potocki Wodka is a genius palette cleanser.

Jan-Roman who runs the distillery says that he himself tastes every batch to ensure quality and consistency. The vodka is very smooth and have a slight caramel taste with notes of nuts and pepper. This vodka is best when its served pure with ice with cherry and chocolate – Pilawa Old Fashion, or a stick of olive.
