The World's First Rested Potato Vodka
Chopin was already the world's first super-premium vodka when Tad Dorda created the category — but the Family Reserve goes further. Because young potatoes are so low in starch, it takes four times the volume of raw material to produce a single batch; that sweet, faintly earthy spirit is then laid to rest for two full years in 50-year-old Polish oak, emerging with a texture and depth no unaged vodka can touch: gentle sweet musk, licorice, clove, and vanilla over a velvety, full body.

Tasting Notes
Gentle sweet musk and soft spice on the nose. Earthy sweetness with hints of licorice and clove across a velvety, full body. Medium-long, smooth, and warming — rich for a vodka, rounded by the oak rest.
How to Enjoy
Sipped neat, lightly chilled, where the texture can show — or in an ultra-refined martini where depth matters. Pairs with caviar, smoked salmon, oysters, and mild cheeses.
