Identifying Features

The bottle has a similar stately look to Smirnoff Red Label, but with a more antique, traditional, (dare I say) gothic Carpathian feel. I thought it was notable that the metal screw on top was much higher quality than Smirnoff in that it didn't strip if tightened.

Written on the Bottle

Sobieski Vodka. Distilled from 100% pure Dankowskt rye. Imported from Poland.

Review

Sobieski has an interesting marketing campaign. That is, they don't really have one. They tout the lack of celebs, babes, and fancy stuff. Sobieski wants to be known for their vodka, and they also want the world to know their Polish heritage. Maybe most importantly, they want the world to know vodka's Polish heritage. All of these are laudable goals.

I won't pretend that I haven't had most vodkas I review. Sobieski is an interesting case, however, as it hasn't been widely released in America. So, I get the interesting chance to make up my mind about a new premium vodka in a public space.

The Shot

I let the first shot be an introduction. Like shaking someone's hand the first time, you pay attention to the details of how they grasp your hand. It always feels foreign. The second time is more familiar. You know what to expect and you start to pick up the finer points. Vodka is no different.

Sobieski has a bitter-sweet flavor. It reminds me of what Belvedere (a widely known Polish rye vodka) wanted to be. Belvedere came across as just bitter. Sobieski has sweet tones that Belvedere lacks. In fact, the sweetness that Belvedere lacks is exactly what makes Sobieski a good shooter. It goes down smooth with only a mild burn and doesn't need a chaser. The sweet tones stick around after the swallow.

The Mixed Drink

I mixed Sobieski in a tried-and-true screw driver. Sobieski is a great mixer. The sweet tones from the shot really mesh well with the Simply Orange Juice. The screwdriver is easy to drink and enjoy.

Opinions

Given the fact that I got an early release of Sobieski, I really felt that it was my duty to see what the general American public felt about the vodka. I happened to be at a pool party. So, I sampled as many people as I could with Sobieski screw drivers.

  • Donielle was taken aback by the great taste of the vodka. It sounded like she was used to lesser quality vodkas, and was surprised by how smooth Sobieski is.
  • Heather said it didn't have a bitter taste and it wasn't too sweet. She said it was smooth and you could gulp it if you wanted.
  • Erin said Sobieski was good. You could barely taste it in the mixer and it didn't have an aftertaste.

Historically, this is a great response to a vodka from tasters. Typically, people point out the short comings instead of positives. So, this is a unique response. As far as I'm concerned, Sobieski is a great addition to the American vodka market and easily beats many widely known "ultra premium" vodkas. Pick up a bottle as soon as you can.

    I will save my excellent, but as a voka drinker, it beats most"premium" vodka. I had a lot of vodka's. The best way to measure a vodka is to have it straight....it passed with high marks. I can give this vodka anyone or put it in any bottle and people would think they were drinking their brand. jusdit

    Your review is spot on. I've been testing vodkas lately for fun. After trying Stoli, Smirnoff, Absolut, and Skyy... I saw this review. After a little more searching on the net, Sobieski seemed like the next big thing. So I ponied up the massive $11 (cheapest I paid for a 750mL up to that point) and danced a little jig after trying it. I feel like I'm robbing a bank when I drink this stuff, because it tasted equal or better than the other 4 vodkas, whilst being much cheaper. I found my drink. It's the yardstick I judge other Vodkas by now.

    My wife's family is from Poland. When I went in 2005, I was amazed at how good Sobieski was. Much better than the top-shelf stuff we had over here. So, I brought back as much as I legally could, and last year was pleased when I saw a billboard advertising that it was available in the States. For the money, it is incredible. Even regardless of the money, it is incredible. Better than Chopin, better than Belvedere, better than Ketel, better than just about any of the frou-frou labels.

    I'd write more, but there's an olive about the size of a baby's fist at the bottom of my glass, and that sucker is calling my name.

    Sobieski is a great entry-level Polish vodka. Having said that, an entry level Polish vodka is still a pretty good place to start. Sobieski is a great deal, and a very easy drink when chilled. Recommended, and the bang for the buck is probably impossible to beat.

    @James, Chopin is my favorite Polish vodka (and potato vodka, too). Sobieski, though, is a great vodka hands down, though. I get it more frequently than any other vodka recently because, as you said, the bang for the buck is impossible to beat.

    I was introduced to Sobieski when the guy who ran the local liquor store near my college recommended it after I had complained most of the vodkas I enjoyed put too much of a drain on my wallet (ah, I miss college already). Upon trying it later that day after freezing it for a bit I was immediately impressed. At the price point ($20 a handle in Troy, NY) it obliterated the other vodkas I had been trying. While my standard vodka has now become Tito's and/or 360 with some Russian Standard for shooting I still enjoy Sobieski from time to time. It's a great vodka, and in my opinion almost impossible to beat at that price.

    I have tried Sobiesk...now two bottles worth. It is a premium tasting vodka, at a price that is more than reasonable. The folks marketing this stuff should be able to make a killing: a smooth, great tasting vodka, that mixes well...and without the pretentiousness of certain other brands - however "fowl" they may be - let me say that I will take Sobieski anytime over the over priced brands. This is a damned good spirit. Try it as soon as you can find it.

    I think they've gone back on it now, but they were touting that the lack of advertising allowed them to keep the price down. Even if they are advertising more, the price for a bottle here in Alabama has dropped since I first saw it in stores. I like that, for sure.

    I just read that Sobieski was released by the same company as Belvedere. #1: What does "released" mean? is it the production or merely the marketing arm? & #2: How do you reckon they mixed up their vodka prices, I see you mention Sobi is what Belvedere wanted to be?

    Reply to This

  16. Robert said on Sep 02, 2009 at 8:25 am...

    As far as I've heard, Sobieski and Belvedere only have the same country of origin (Poland). I've not heard anything else. There are constant rumors that Grey Goose and Pinnacle are "the same" but I've found no evidence of that either. You are right, though, to question what "released" means. There are a lot of steps between growing grain and waking up with a hangover that Sobieski and Belvedere could share. Almost all of them would have little or no effect on either product.

    For example, Sidney Frank sold the manufacturing rights for Grey Goose to Bacardi in 2004, and Goose still tastes the same. In 2006, Bacardi bought 42 Below. 42 Below is a better vodka than Goose and it's cheaper. They are in no way the same. Bacardi would have made a mistake to change the pricing though, because that is part of Grey Goose's brand identity. That's what helps it keep the luxury appeal and it's marketed that way.

    Likewise, if Belvedere and Sobieski somehow came under the same roof (and as far as I know, they have not), it'd be a mistake to change the price scheme because Belvedere is a luxury vodka with a lot of brand cachet, where Sobieski is an every-man vodka that is still making a name for itself.

    I was shocked when I purchased this bottle! I went in on a budget, saw Sobieski on the shelf just above the bottom shelf and for some reason the bottle intriged me. When I got home I opened it and was taken back that it actually tasted great, not with an overpowering after taste and nasty burn down to your stomache. I hope that Sobieski does not sell out on the price because they truly have a quality vodka going here that is top self quality for a very reasonable price!

    I was trapped in the "How many times distilled" hype and shopping at my local spirits store for a good vodka. I was reading labels, "triple distilled", "distilled five times", then I ran across a bottle with an interesting collar ad that simply said "Distilled Enough". It was a Polish vodka (that's a plus in my opinion). The low price kind of scared me ( I hate most budget vodkas) but what the heck, I decided to give it a try. WOW!.. To my surprise this is some of the best vodka I've had at any price. Ive been a Sobieski advocate now for the past 6 months.

    I have to admit, I was skeptical when I prepared to try Sobieski for the first time. While I'm the first to say that many 'premium' brands are overpriced and overhyped, I found it hard to believe that this could really be good vodka at that price point. I was a convert with the first drink. The new Vanilia and Cytron releases are also excellent - if you haven't tried them, you definitely should.

    Very cheap, but great. It has some initial bite, but finishes smooth with no horrible aftertaste. I would not hesitate to buy this one again, especially if I'm wanting to save some money.

    I have already posted about my recent quest to compare some of the higher rated vodkas, and have compiled the following list from best to worst (though this is relative since I like all of them):

    1) Crystal Head 2) Tito's Handmade 3) Ketel One 4) Stolichnaya 5) Grey Goose

    Several months before this taste test comparison, I tasted a small shot of Sobieski at a wine tasting function. My only recent reference at that time had been Grey Goose in a martini, straight up with olives, but I recall thinking that I liked the Sobieski and would have probably preferred it to Grey Goose. I remember the shot demonstrated a vodka that was very smooth, a little bittersweet, somewhat crisp, and had very little alcohol burn. Though I am rating Sobieski from a somewhat distant memory, and from a shot instead of a martini like the other vodkas, I would be inclined to say that it reminded me of a more refined version of Stoli, and would slot just in front of it in my list of vodka ratings. So, here's my updated list:

    1) Crystal Head 2) Tito's Handmade 3) Ketel One 4) Sobieski 5) Stolichnaya 6) Grey Goose

    Till next time. Cheers!

    @taffyg2003, I had fun reading your chronicles of vodka discovery. I'm so glad that we could help you find stuff you liked better. Rather than reply to every post, I'll just say here that I more-or-less agree with you on your findings. I, too, wish Crystal Head was around the $25 - $30 range so I could buy it more often. Until then, like you said, it'll be Tito's in my freezer (unless I get something else for a review, of course).

  25. taffyg2003 said on Jan 26, 2010 at 8:23 pm...

    @Robert, thanks for your reply to this relative vodka novice.

    I would like to add that I was surprised to find Crystal Head on the menu at Houlihan's (a chain of Friday's-like restaurants, but a bit higher end and classier). I had already ordered a Ketel One martini from the bar while waiting for our table, but when I saw the menu at the table I ordered another one with Crystal Head and enjoyed a side-by-side comparison. There was no comparison; Ketel One was good, but had a mild burn when swallowed and slightly peppery aftertaste, while Crystal Head was so smooth all the way through and had a slightly sweet flavor. Crystal Head is absolutely in another league!

    As a side note, I decided to "borrow" my father-in-law's Beefeater London Dry Gin to try a gin martini at home a couple of days ago, since gin is the "official" primary component in a martini. I did not like the strong juniper flavor it added to the cocktail, but it was very smooth and provided a very crisp and cooling effect to the experience, almost in the manor of wintergreen candy, which i would like try to find in a vodka martini. Tito's and Crystal Head are incredibly smooth, and Crystal Head does have a very mild talc-like cooling effect, but they do not come close to the crisp experience of the gin martini. In contrast, these unassertive vodkas (especially Tito's) allow the oily pickled sensation of the vermouth to come through, which I find less desirable. Perhaps, I should try a more assertive vodka like Russian Standard, Sobieski, or even the cooling sweetness of 360 to see if I can find the best of both worlds.

  26. Robert said on Jan 29, 2010 at 7:27 am...

    @taffyg2003 If you don't like the taste of vermouth, a Russian vodka would probably help tone down the flavor. Stoli comes to mind, but you could go up market with one of the Russian Standard varieties (Imperia is their upper tier). Gin, by nature, has a lot going on, which explains why it's the original. Are you using sweet or dry vermouth? I'm not sure how much of a difference there is since I'm not a martini drinker but you may get different results with a different type of vermouth.

    @Robert, I have been drinking martinis sporadically for about five or six years as a way to break up the beer and wine scene along with the occasional rum on the rocks. My first martini was a Grey Goose at the recommendation of a friend, and I enjoyed it. Since then, I had stuck to Grey Goose martinis. My wife and I went to the Bacardi Rum Factory in PR about 15 years ago, and got a bottle of Bacardi Reserve. When we finally opened it recently, we were disappointed. That prompted me to research rum ratings and reviews, which enlightened me that Bacardi is not generally well regarded. With that, I decided to look up vodka ratings, and stumbled on to this website amongst others. Again, I was enlightened about Grey Goose's overrating and learned a lot about vodkas that I had never heard about. That is when my vodka martini quest began, and has led me to the discovery of vodkas like Tito's and Crystal Head, and most recently to try a gin martini with my father in-law's much enjoyed Beefeater.

    As I have stated, the juniper flavor of the gin was not my cup of tea, but the gin's refreshing crispness and cover up of the pickled vermouth flavor was something that none of the vodkas have matched (though the incredibly smooth Crystal Head's refreshing talc-like sweetness comes the closest). In retrospect, while I found the Stoli martini that I had a few weeks ago to bite a bit, it had more flavor than the other vodkas, and this flavor was crisp and masked the vermouth fairly well in a manner that reminds me somewhat like what gin accomplishes. I agree with you that going with more upscale Russian vodkas might be what I am looking for. I am hoping to try Russian Standard Vodka soon. Regardless, I am also curious about 360, Jean-Marc XO and also trying Sobieski again in a martini. I have also read at Tastings.com that the Beverage Testing Institute not only rates Americana Luxury Vodka very highly, but also recommend it for its "subtle fruity flavor that will excel in martinis".

    Let the quest continue. Cheers.

    That's it, after trying another bottle of Sobieski, I will always be keeping a bottle stocked. This is now officially my favorite cheap vodka, over Svedka too. I have yet to try Tito's though, it's really hard to find down here. I only saw it at my local liquor store right before New Year's, should have grabbed a bottle then. Haven't seen it since.

    @Jason Tito's isn't always easy to find around here, though I think our ABC (in Alabama) has recently started making sure enough product makes it into stores to keep up demand. Hopefully your stores will pick up more. It never hurts to ask the clerk to start carrying it, either. That said, I haven't seen Sobieski on shelves around here in six months or more, and I've been missing it. Maybe I should take my own advice!

    I purchased a bottle of your vodak & was impressed enough to make it my favorite. Then I went into my liquor store & they only had glass bottles of 1.75liter. I was dissapointed but bought it. Then I opened it & it had no little plastic spout to control the "pour". It is bad enough to make me buy Smirnoff again. The plastic bottle is easier to travel with & is easier to use. Sorry--you lose a customer. If you return to the plastic container withthe controlled pour spout I will return. Love your juice, hate the container. Bye, Frank

    I tried a bottle of this a few months ago. Contrary to reviews, however, I found it to be quite disgusting at room temperature (I test all vodka like this). Perhaps I got a bad batch? I want to retry this to reaffirm myself, however, has anyone else had an experience where this particular vodka tasted sub-par?

    @Dr. Frank: Wow, going back to a much inferior vodka just because of the container and spout? Ever heard of a pourer?
    @Chris: Bad batch may be a possibility, or the fact that people just have different palates. My experience was that it is one of the best vodkas I've ever tried at any price, at room temperature, which is how I also evaluate all new vodkas initially.

    I finally had a chance to try Sobieski in a martini. I was very impressed with both its nice bittersweet flavor and its relative smoothness. Also, it had little burn when swallowed and no bad aftertaste. At this point, I am re-ranking Sobieski at fifth place with 4 stars just behind 360 and Tito's and just before Svedka. Additionally, it reaffirms its place as the leader for value followed by Svedka.

    While I still enjoy American Luxury Vodka more a little than Sobieski in a martini, it is difficult to justify spending more than twice the price to stock as my regular vodka at home.

    For anyone interested in my current martini vodka rankings, here is an updated list:

    1) Crystal Head [5 stars], 2) Americana Luxury Vodka [5 stars], 3) Russian Standard Original [4 stars], 4) (tie) 360 [4 stars], 4) (tie) Tito's Handmade [4 stars], 6) Sobieski [4 stars], 7) Svedka [4 stars], 8) Chopin [4 stars], 9) Ketel One [4 stars], 10) Stolichnaya [3 stars], 11) Ciroc [3 stars], 12) Skyy [3 stars], 13) Belvedere [3 stars], 14) Grey Goose [3 stars], 15) Absolut [2 stars]

    Till next time. Cheers.

    Just enjoyed my first few sips, straight up and lightly chilled. Very nice. I am a Stoli, Pinnacle, and SKYY fan, and Sobieski has more character than those last two. Stoli will always be great, but isn't nearly as affordable. I agree that Sobieski has a nice, subtle balance of sweet and bitter flavors, as others have pointed out. Yet, it's very smooth & drinkable. Can't wait to make myself a nice, dirty martini with Sobi. Heh, there... it has it's nickname already. Great price, too!! Salud!

    I tried really, really hard to get excited about this based on your score, comments and it's attractive $18.99 1.75L price.
    I have to be honest. This simply is not a great vodka. In fact, it's bite is harder than some of the bargain priced vodkas. The vodka definitely has some very good flavor and interesting, complex tastes, but the after bite lasts long after you're ready for the next sip.

    I used to have two in the gang, Imperia and Titos, but wanted to try something new. Seen Sobieski and the name sounded familiar, obviously from here. Thought it was a little too inexpensive, $11.95/750mL, for anything I would ever put in my body, but I bought it anyhow. Until I got home and took a shot, wow! (I only drink liquor straight) Great vodka, just a notch below my other two favs. Recommend it to anyone to try something new, or dont got much money to spend. A-

    I FULLY agree with your review. I am Polish and have tried most all Vodka's available to me where I live, in the southwest suburbs of Chicago. When shopping at a regular supermarket the other day, I saw Sobieski priced at $10.08 a bottle!!! It was cheaper than any other Vodka, so a first I assumed it must be 'rough' & nasty. Upon reading the container (the bottle was attractively enclosed in a fancy cardboard tube package with a metal lid and bottom), I became very intrigued. How could something priced this low look so good and expensive?! I decided to go for it. (I mean, come on, $11.98??!!) Not expecting much, when I tried it straight, mixed with cranberry juice or, lemonade, as you said, I must say I literally shocked! How could it be this vodka is better in my opinion than any 'premium' high priced vodka?! I don't know, but now know I am a convert. Again, I fully agree with your well written review!

    At 3 times the price, it would still be a good deal. This is a really good vodka. I got a first bottle to balance out my expensive stuff. When I finally tried it a few weeks later, I kept questioning my memory of it being cheap. The 2nd bottle confirmed it; it's cheap, and it's really good. It's now moved in to my #2 spot behind only Imperia.

That is either really good for you, really good for the bartender or really good for the state trooper who pulls you over. It is just all kinds of good, however please note I do not condone or promote driving while intoxicated. It is not bitter, goes down smooth and really is one of the finer vodkas I have tried.

    You can literally buy 3 750s of Sobieski and still have money left over for the price of some Premium vodka brand 750s. Like others said, I feel like I stole this from a store when I drink it. It surpassed my expectations to say the least. I'm used to drinking Goose, Ultimat, Zyr, and Stoli. This is the best deal going for a premium vodka at a foot level shelf price.

    A slight btterness but very good. I would compare it Svedka. Mixes well and very affordable. I would recomend this to anyone who is just a casual vodka drinker looking good babg for the buck
