BARLEY VODKA FROM LEŻACHÓW
A collection that captures the taste of land, time, and nature
Barley Vodka from Leżachów is not a spirit born by accident.
It is the result of a natural cycle, a rhythm of seasons, and a deep, generations-old respect for the land of Podkarpacie — a region where every hectare carries its own story, and every harvest reflects the shifting dance of sun, wind, rain, and soil.
This vodka is created slowly and intentionally — from the sowing of grains to their ripening, to distillation at a world-class level.
Each variant has its own personality, as if drawn from a different corner of the landscape.
The heart of the collection: Barley from Leżachów
This grain does not come from random fields. It is grown on the fertile black soils of Leżachów — earth so rich and alive that locals call it “breathing soil.”
These lands were shaped over millennia by ancient waters, sediments, and geological shifts.
How the barley matures
- In spring, as the earth exhales the last breath of winter and delicate mists rise from the San River, the first green shoots break through the soil.
- In summer, the barley ripens under warm — but never scorching — Podkarpacie sunlight. This gentle climate preserves the grain’s natural sweetness and prevents harsh drying.
- In early autumn, the kernels fill with soft oiliness, bread-like aromas, and subtle sweetness. Cool nights and warm days create ideal conditions for harmonious maturity.
This unique climate — impossible to replicate elsewhere — gives Barley Vodka from Leżachów its unmistakably soft, naturally sweet profile.
Distillation: The alchemy of clarity
The vodka is produced using a state-of-the-art, seven-column distillation installation — the most advanced of its kind in Poland.
With over 300 rectification plates, every fraction is separated with surgical precision.
Yet technology isn’t the whole story. The soul of the vodka lies in the water.
Water from the San Valley moraines
Filtered naturally through ancient morainic deposits, the water acquires:
- exceptional softness
- gentle minerality
- crystalline purity
It is this water that transforms Barley Vodka from Leżachów into something more than a spirit — it becomes liquid harmony.
Barley Vodka from Leżachów: Flavor profile
Aroma
Fresh bread warm from the oven, sun-kissed grain, a whisper of orchard sweetness from local apples.
Taste
Velvety notes of malted barley, warm vanilla, and a subtle peppery spark — like the meeting of field air with the scent of wooden granaries filled with harvest grain.
Finish
Long, clean, naturally sweet, with a touch of minerality and a luminous grain character.
It is the taste of a true place — the taste of Podkarpacie’s fields, winds, and sunlight.
LIMITED COLLECTION
Five interpretations of the same grain
Each vodka in the limited series tells a unique story — a different interpretation of barley, nature, and craftsmanship.
Together they form a sensory map of Podkarpacie.
BARLEY SILVER
Crystalline Minimalism**
SILVER represents the purest, most unadorned form of Leżachów barley.
Filtration through quartz stones from the San Valley brings a mineral freshness, like a cool morning breeze drifting from the river.
Character
- cereal clarity
- a wild, peppery sparkle reminiscent of young white pepper growing on forest edges
- notes of icy mint and crushed quartz
- an exceptionally clean, mineral finish
This vodka tastes like a spring — cold, crystalline, primal.
BARLEY PLATINIUM
A Luminous Marriage of Nature and Gold**
Here, grain meets alchemy.
Filtration through 24-karat gold polishes the spirit to an almost silky, liquid-velvet texture.
Impressions
- almond notes reminiscent of those ripening on sun-soaked southern slopes of Podkarpacie
- sweetness of heather honey from the Bieszczady highlands
- a creamy texture recalling fresh farmstead milk
- a finish as long and golden as a sunset over the Słonne Mountains
PLATINIUM is the most radiant, luminous expression of barley.
BARLEY GOLD
The Golden Grain, the Golden Light, the Golden Oak**
GOLD matures through contact with golden oak from the Roztocze Forest, a wood warmed by decades of sun.
The flavor of Podkarpacie in midsummer
- roasted vanilla, reminiscent of pods drying on farmhouse windowsills
- buckwheat honey rich in wildflower pollen
- ripe barley with soft, sunny sweetness
- subtle accents of cinnamon and cardamom recalling regional summer fairs
This is a vodka that tastes like a July evening — gentle, warm, comforting.
BARLEY BLACK
Dark elegance, Time-Carved Power
BLACK intrigues because its soul comes from Black Oak, a rare wood preserved for over 300 years in the dark, oxygen-poor sediments of the San delta.
This oak has lived through floods, storms, frosts, and centuries of silence.
Profile
- dried plums like those from traditional Podkarpacie smokehouses
- wild forest blackberries
- bitter cocoa
- a delicate smoky undertone, like a campfire on the edge of the woods
It is a contemplative, dense, almost meditative vodka.
BARLEY GOLD & BLACK OAK
A landscape composed of contrasts
This unique edition combines two worlds:
the bright, sunny elegance of golden oak and the dark, earthy power of Black Oak.
The flavors weave a multilayered symphony
- apricots — juicy, ripened on warm Podkarpacie hillsides
- honey — golden, floral, full of summer sunlight
- plum jam — thick, homemade, slowly cooked over an open flame
- notes of dry tobacco — evocative of old wooden chests
- forest earth and smoke, finishing long, evolving, and profound
This is the most complex, artistic interpretation of barley in the entire collection — a spirit painted with both light and shadow.
A collection that turns grain into art
Barley Vodka from Leżachów is more than vodka.
It is a story about land, light, water, time, and the craftsmen who understand every centimeter of the Podkarpacie soil.
Each variant is a different emotion, a different memory, a different landscape — yet all begin with a single element: golden barley growing on the Leżachów fields.
This is a collection meant to be tasted, explored, and experienced.
