Chopin Wheat Vodka

Chopin Wheat is the lightest and most delicate of the three, in the brand's own words — the single-ingredient Chopin for drinkers who want a whisper rather than a statement. Introduced in March 2011 alongside the Rye, it joined the original Potato as one of three single-ingredient vodkas from the Dorda family's distillery in the countryside village of Krzesk in eastern Poland, a house that dates to 1896 and makes 100% of its alcohol from raw materials it selects itself rather than buying bulk spirit. The winter wheat is grown within 25 miles of the distillery, distilled four times in a copper column each spring, filtered five times, and bottled on the estate with purified artesian well water at 40% ABV. Best Tasting Spirits notes that Poland means rye or potato to most drinkers — which is exactly why the Wheat surprises: it's soft, subtly sweet, and rounder than either. Expect a clean nose with a faint note of fresh bread and vanilla, opening into a silky, gently sweet palate with the creamy roundness wheat lends and none of the pepper of the Rye or the earth of the Potato, finishing smooth and clean. VinePair notes each Chopin expression suits different drinks; the Wheat is built for the Martini and for anything where the vodka should disappear elegantly. Also a vodka soda with a twist, a French Martini, or an Espresso Martini. Brown label, Polish wheat, nothing else — the gentlest Chopin.
