You are currently viewing the Vodka category or one of its subcategories. If you are unsure as to what Vodka is and isn't, you can read a definition here. If you would like to read more Vodka reviews, I suggest you start here.
If Whisky is God's drink, Vodka is the People's drink. Vodka is simple and clean, made for extreme revelry and sadness. Vodka is not, nor should ever be, like wine: it is our little water, the sweetheart of men.

This Vodka is my absolute favourite so far, and has been for almost two years now. The reason I have not reviewed it earlier is that it does not seem to be available in Nova Scotia, which is, in my opinion, a very sad thing indeed. Luckily, my mom flew to see me a few weeks ago, and, in answer to my pleas and prayers, brought me two 40 ouncers of this heavenly nectar. "Why is it so good, then?", you ask. Well, it isn't actually because it has a better taste than some other vodkas, but rather a better balance. A very tasty vodka, such as Polar Ice for example, can be all out with pungent flavours and aromas, be silken smooth, but lack the bite that gives spirits, and especially Vodka, one of its charms. On the other hand, some dry vodkas can be all bite and give very little taste. Wyborowa is the perfect compromise: it has the sweetness of a rye Vodka and the amazing texture those can have, but it gives the drinker the little bite, the fire on the tongue, which makes him smile and sigh with satisfaction. This Vodka is like looking at a beautiful, curvy girl, all the while knowing she has plenty of spunk to match her looks. The cap on the new bottle design can also actually double as a shot-glass for those special moments when a bottle of Vodka is all that's left you. I've heard this is the supermarket Vodka in Poland... When can I go?
UPDATE: You might be interested to know that Wyborowa now seems to be available in Nova Scotia: at least it is available at the liquor store on Joseph Howe. CHEERS! (2007-04-04)
