Well-known for its fine spirits, Polish company J.A Baczewski was founded in 1782.

J.A. Baczewski Monopolowa Dry Gin 750mL, RRP $64.90
Like its vodka sister, this gin is also triple distilled from potatoes, has a light texture and subtle flavours that leaves a smooth, delectable taste in your mouth. One top international reviewer from the Beverage Testing Institute (BTI) describes this quality spirit with, “Clear. Delicate aromas of pepper jelly, floral bath talc, pine sap, and lemon curd with a satiny smooth, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a creamy custard, lemongrass, herb and spice flourish. A great combination of vibrancy and elegance.” Enough said! What’s more, with a Gold Medal rating of 93 points (or “Exceptional”), Monopolowa Dry Gin is well suited on the rocks, in cocktails or with tonic and ice. A true martini lover’s delight!

J.A. Baczewski Vodka Monopolowa 750mL, RRP $59.90
If you value quality and authenticity in your spirits, Vodka Monopolowa is the world’s first vodka brand which continues to win medals and awards internationally. Monopolowa has been triple distilling potato spirits in the most traditional manner for years — in fact, this drop was served in the Royal Household of Austria-Hungary. With its clear, mild aromas of buttercream, candid citrus peel and anise, this pristine vodka is perfect for sipping neat or in martinis. It’s also well suited for mixed drinks and enhanced when served chilled with a twist of lemon. In a world filled with overhyped grain vodkas, Monopolowa stands high above the rest.

Upsynth 55 Premium Austrian Absinthe Spirit 500mL, RRP $74.90
Expertly distilled from 28 alpine herbs including wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) Upsynth 55 is a premium offering that is superior to the more common macerated and bitter-tasting “absinth” found on the market. This quality spirit undergoes a long-lasting maceration process which is then finely filtered and double distilled to preserve its unique and perfectly-balanced herbal flavour. Suffice to say this is perfect when mixed in long drinks, cocktails or even straight, over crushed ice.
