). horilka is usually distilled from grain (usually wheat or rye), though it can, exceptionally, also be distilled from potatoes, honey, sugar beets etc. one type of horilka, called
), is horilka with chili peppers. historically, outside ukraine, pertsivka is generally referred to when people speak of horilka, although pertsivka itself is just one type of horilka .
it is believed that horilka was not as strong as today with about 20% alcohol by volume (40 proof). however, today nearly all industrially produced horilka is 40% (80 proof) .
ukrainian tradition has also produced various derivatives of horilka. some of these are available as commercial products, but most are typically home - made. this includes various kinds of fruit infusion, nalyvka and spiced spotykach: malynivka made with raspberries, tertukha (strawberries), agrusivka (gooseberries), ternivka (blackthorn berries), kalynivka (snowball tree), shypshynnyk (rose hips), horobynivka (ashberries), zubrivka (bison grass), vyshnyak or vyshnivka from cherries, slyv”yanka (plums), morelivka (apricots), tsytrynivka (lemons), mokrukha (oranges and cloves), mochena (citrus rind), kontabas (blackcurrant buds). horikhivka is flavoured with nuts. horilka is also made with honey (called medova), mint, or even milk. in some cases whole fruits of red peppers (capsicum) are put into the bottle, turning horilka into a sort of bitters; it is then named horilka z pertsem, or pertsivka. (one should be mindful of the usage: horilka z pertsem refers to horilka bottled with hot chilli peppers, whereas pertsivka typically refers to horilka spiced with the essence of pepper. horilka z pertsem always refers to a ukrainian spirit, whereas pertsivka or pertsovka may refer to russian vodka .) medova z pertsem is the combination of horilka with chili peppers and honey .
most of these preparations are aged with fruit for several weeks or months, then strained or decanted. some recipes call for the jars to be placed on the rooftop, for maximum bleaching by the sun. many include the addition of home - made syrup for a strong liqueur, others yield very dry, clear spirit. some involve the fermentation of fruit as well as addition of horilka. preparations which are baked in an oven, in a pot sealed with bread dough, are called zapikanka, varenukha or palynka .
horilka plays a role in traditional weddings in ukraine and in eastern slovakia and southern poland .
the word horilka is attested in 1562 (горилка) and 1678 (горѣлка). dialectic variants are harilka, horilash, horilytsya, horilets’, horilukha, z·horivka, zorivka, orilka, as well as western ukrainian horivka, horychka .
the word comes from the same root as the verb hority, ‘to burn’, similarly to belarusian harelka, south russian gorelka, czech kořalka, and slovak goralka, goržolka. it is considered to have come about following the polish example gorzałka, possibly as an abbreviation of a compound word like horile vyno (‘burning wine’; compare the older word horěloe vyno, горѣлое вино, attested in 1511) or horila (ya) voda (‘burning water’; compare early czech pálená voda → pálenka or hungarian / transylvanian palinka). it may be an adaptation of the early old high german der brannte wein → branntwein. also compare english brandy, short for brandywine, from dutch brandewijn, ‘burning wine’ .
a pertsivka or horilka z pertsem (english: pepper flavoured horilka) is the most widely associated type of horilka outside of ukraine. it is made with whole fruits of capsicum put into the bottle, turning horilka into a sort of bitters. sometimes perstsivka can be made also using honey, which is then called pertsivka z medom or medova z pertsem (honey - pepper flavoured horilka). nemiroff is a ukrainian brand actively promoting pepper horilka worldwide through the heavy use of product placement in cinema. the brand and company don' t have long traditions but pertsivka production itself does .
horilka that is bottled and sold by companies is usually distilled from wheat or rye. horilka may also contain honey or be distilled from honey, or contain chili peppers, mint or birch bud. the self - distilled alcoholic beverage is called samohon (literally
self - run
,
self - steered
) and is the homemade variety of horilka, akin to moonshine .

pronunciation of foreign words has been placed (in brackets), whilst translations are [ in square brackets ], after a | bold vertical bar. nalewka is a polish word used for flavoured vodka, often sweet and usually stronger than a liqueur; a nastoyka or nastoyanka is basically the same thing, but how russians and ukrainians respectively call them. finally, i’m no expert, i’m just an eastern european dude who loves vodka, happens to know a bit about it and has tried plenty of brands. the minimum criteria for a product to get on my list is at least 30% alcohol but preferably closer to 40% or more, and its base has to be distilled from cereal grains – such as rye, wheat, barley – or from potatoes. ciroc and similar beverages are not real vodka as they are distilled from fruit, so they are closer to rakija and śliwowica .

best expensive clear vodkas: chopin – rye vodka, chopin – potato vodka, j. a. baczewski – monopolowa, chase vodka
not sure tbh, haven' t had a chance to try it yet. i' ve seen it at a shop somewhere at some point though, so i might get to it someday .
i would give it a shot. for the price, i think it' s the best you can get imo .
i know you' re skeptable, but i feel like you would enjoy it. let me know what you think if you do try it out .
heh, not entirely, but close. here' s how i would put it :
look for vodka from any of the traditional vodka belt countries (poland, russia, ukraine, belarus, lithuania, latvia) and you most likely won' t be disappointed. estonia, finland, sweden, norway also aren' t too bad at all, but i personally haven' t had a chance to try many beverages from there .
uk doesn' t really have much to offer in terms of vodka, especially at the cheap end, which is understandable considering it doesn' t have a centuries - old history with this beverage like poland or russia do. however, chase potato vodka is really nice and i can gladly recommend it; it just happens to be very expensive as well. sipsmith' s variants are not too shabby either, but not quite as nice as chase .
smirnoff i' m definitely not a fan of, it is as bland as clear vodka can get - not too strong or too weak either, just all - round very average and has nothing to remember it by other than the wannabe - russian branding (i know it used it to be a genuine russian product, but it hasn' t been that for ages now) .
popov i have not had a chance to try yet, but i' ve heard so many good things about it at this point that i' m really looking forward to getting a bottle. : )
the real crime here is that you did not include popov on your list .
well, i did stop updating this list some time ago. but tbh i have not ever had an opportunity to try popov yet, will have to keep an eye out for it .
this is a pretty good list that has some vodka from the east i' ve never heard of, but would be willing to try out. my only disagreement is belvedere being a 2 + and sharing the same spot with grey goose. side by side, you can tell there' s a noticable palate difference between the two despite some similarity in terms of dull flavor .
however, i gotta tell you, you really need to try belvedere unfiltered. thing' s a different beast on it' s own right .
i agree that belvedere is probably a fair bit better than grey goose, but i still think they are both kinda overrated and overpriced .
i' ll have to try the unfiltered variant at some point, thanks for the suggestion .
tbh i have never really questioned that. it' s just that in the regions where vodka is most popular (the so - called vodka belt of eastern europe) - including the countries that are most often credited as places where vodka was invented (namely poland and russia) - everyone knows that real vodka is made from grain or potatoes .
sure, we' ve been flavouring our vodka with various infusions - using fruits, nuts, herbs, etc. for centuries to explore different tastes. but if the base alcohol that is used in these mixtures is not distilled from cereal grains or potatoes, then we usually give it a different name. for example: spirit distilled from plums is known as śliwowica (slivovitsa), pálenka or pálinka are various types of fruit brandy, in the balkans they call it rakija, and so on .
in fact, there was even a legal dispute about the naming conventions. you can read more about this here as well. sorry if i wasn' t of much help, like i said i' ve never really questioned this definition, maybe it' s just a cultural thing .
wow thank you for some reading material for the week, i was genuinely curious despite the username lol i appreciate the response, happy drinking .
you' ve been mislead. vladivar isnt vodka it' s liquid student nutrients. same with the supermarket own brand .
you' ll be telling me that glen' s doesn' t stand up to siwucha next .
very interesting, thank you. but i can safely say from my own experience that tesco everyday value vodka is the overall worst product, you' re lucky to not have tried it. you were almost right. : p
i was considering the price and the quality (so, for example, the legend of kremlin was pretty good but nowhere near worth the ridiculous price - whereas chopin was so amazing that it was worth the fairly expensive price tag) .
i' m a bot, bleep, bloop. someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit :
if you follow any of the above links, please respect the rules of reddit and don' t vote in the other threads. (info / contact )
late to the party (saw your comment on the finlandia thread from a week ago that led me here) but thanks! i only know half of those so it will take some work to find and taste the others, but i will keep an eye out. how do you like the flavored soplica? i tried most of them while in poland and i think it' s among the best flavored alcohol you can buy, also very easy to drink .
i would strongly advise you to try and find some babicka from czech republic — simply the best vodka i know, very smooth and sweet with hints of fruity flavours .
i love soplica' s line of nalewka, i agree it is some of the best flavoured vodka out there to be honest. and it makes a good gift as well, if you' re unsure if the person likes vodka but know they enjoy sweet flavours. my personal favourite is the quince (pigwowa) variant .
and thanks for recommending babicka to me, i can' t believe i haven' t heard about this one before! i' ll have to add it to my list of must - tries. i' ve been to slovakia once and the bus drove though czechia, so i have been trying to find the time and money to visit prague ever since. now i guess i just have yet another reason as to why i should go there .
would love to see your thoughts on luksusowa which i recently bought along with tito' s and a few other american made vodka' s to see if they' re up to snuff .
i honestly can' t remember if i had tried it - i may have, and it was probably ok, but i' m not 100% sure .
edit: come to think of it, yes i have had luksusowa. i think it was on par with krakus, russian standard, and that kind of stuff. definitely not monopolowa level though .

i' m a polish wikipedian who is currently residing in the uk. my interests and editing areas include history, folklore and geography of eastern europe (especially belarus - ukraine - poland), science - fiction novels, vodka, music, and occasionally video games. i am fluent in polish and english, but i also speak some russian and have mastered most of the cyrillic script (though i' m not as good with the south slavic variants of this alphabet). however, as a slav i can understand bits and pieces of practically every slavonic tongue - slovak, czech, ukrainian, and belarusian are the easiest for me as they are the most similar to polish. on the other hand, bulgarian and macedonian have always seemed the most difficult and different to me.
