The story
The brand's history is linked to the Potocki family's long-standing activity in Łańcut: a distillery documented since 1784 and developed by the family in the 19th century. The historical production in Łańcut continued into the modern era, while the contemporary activity of the Potocki brand was relaunched from 2003. Currently Potocki vodka is produced in Pomerania, near the Baltic coast; the historic Łańcut facility was finally closed in 2021.
Production philosophy
Highlighting the character of rye: preserving its typical aromatic profile without additives or filtration that would soften its character. The product is intended to be enjoyed neat, served chilled.
Territory
Poland, current production in Pomerania (Baltic area)
Production method
Distilled from locally grown rye; only the central part of the distillate (the 'heart') is retained. No additives are used and charcoal filtration, common in many industrial productions, is deliberately avoided to preserve the rye aromas.
Distillation
Distillation from rye; selection of the 'heart' of the distillate; no charcoal filtration; no additives.
