Balsam Warszawski (Warsaw Balsam) is a unique product among delicate, light traditional Polish spirits. Warsaw Balsam is made according to an old Polish recipe dating back to the 18th century. It consists of many ingredients, including honey, propolis, cinnamon, cloves and many others. Each of them has its own flavor characteristics that enhance each other. The original bitter-sweet taste, delicate honey aftertaste and amber color make up an exceptionally harmonious, light quality vodka that can be consumed in its pure form or as an ingredient in cocktails. Balsam Warszawski is not only an excellent drink, but also a part of the history and culture of Warsaw. It is a tribute to the interwar tradition of the Koneser distillery, which supplied the Warsaw gang with liquors. The Warsaw motifs on the label and in the name itself are not accidental. Balsam Warszawski is a vodka with soul and character available at a very affordable price.

The word “balsam” has Arabic roots, but it came to Poland from Germany. There is a legend that the prototype of alcoholic beverages called balms were herbal tinctures produced by healers and herbalists. The modern version of this drink originated in the 17th century. It was then that Kunze, a pharmacist from Riga, prepared and presented Catherine the Great with a wonderful alcoholic product, which not only had a delicious taste, but was also supposed to have a positive effect on well-being. The Tsarina liked the drink, and she allowed it to be produced on an industrial scale. This is how the famous “Riga Black Balsam” was born – a kind of model for all alcoholic beverages called balms produced in Central and Eastern Europe.
In general, a balsam is a tincture made of herbs, fruits and other special ingredients, with an alcohol content of 30 to 45 percent. Recipes for balsams invented by distillers are usually kept secret and passed down from generation to generation. The aroma of a high-quality drink must be balsamic and contain a bouquet of herbs, oils and all the listed ingredients. It should not emphasize any particular note. The taste is slightly oily, with a bitter aftertaste. The color of the balm is usually amber, dark brown or black, depending on the composition. Bitner, Riga and Becherovka are considered to be the best balsams in the world. Each balm is unique in its composition and has its own secrets. It is no different with our Balsam Warszawski, which is made according to an old Polish recipe that dates back to the 18th century. It consists of many ingredients, including honey, propolis, cinnamon, cloves and many others.
