"There's so much written about wonderful wines, and scotches, and tequilas, and rums, and not very much about vodkas; why don't we start talking about the biggest distilled spirit in the world?" says Tad Dorda, founder and CEO of Poland's Chopin Vodka. This highlights a general neglect of vodka in the extravagant world of spirits despite its prominence as a distilled beverage.
Marek Wierzejski, a potato farmer, discusses the importance of fresh ingredients: 'The potatoes are planted across four hectares of land in the spring and harvested in the fall. Within three days of being brought to Chopin's distillery, the potatoes are distilled.' This showcases the urgency and quality maintained in the vodka production process.
Chopin's master distiller, Waldemar Durakiewicz, meticulously manages the vodka distillation process: 'Waldemar is a fascinating person... Distilling was his first job when he finished college, and he's not looking towards retirement.' This reveals the dedication and passion integral to the craftsmanship of Chopin Vodka.
Dorda emphasizes sustainability: 'The other important aspect is that it's a sustainable production. It's always been this way - at least in this region.' This underscores a commitment to environmentally friendly practices in vodka manufacturing, linking tradition with modern sustainability.
