Poland Bar Hop Pt5: When in Poland drink the local spirit. First drinking stop in Krakow was a vodka bar, where we had a flight of 6 vodkas. (see 📸 4 & 5) I’m not a big vodka person, and there were no revelations for me here. But I’d say the Forest Fruit vodka was one I could see sipping for dessert after a meal. Na zdrowie! Poland Bar Hop Pt4: I don’t usually go for hotel bars, but the bartenders at Cloud One Hotel in Gdansk do it up right. During my stay I tried their Old Town house cocktail (recipe 📸7), a Rob Roy with Ardbeg 10, and a Martini made with a Gdansk vodka brand and lime zest. All expertly built and quite good. Plus the bar looks surreal, like you’re floating in champagne. Na zdrowie! New notes on a 2014 PURE KENTUCKY XO. Tap that 🔗 IN BIO for deets on this pre-“Willett” release from Willet’s NDP days. Were those better days for the PKXO? Cheers!
