Unveil the exquisite clarity and unique flavour profile of Soplica Quince Liqueur, a premium spirit that stands as a testament to Polish distillation artistry and authentic fruit infusion. This 500ml bottle, presented at a versatile 28% alcohol by volume, promises a truly distinctive drinking experience for connoisseurs across New Zealand.
Soplica is one of Poland's oldest and most respected vodka and liqueur brands, with a heritage dating back to 1891. Renowned for its commitment to traditional craftsmanship and the use of natural ingredients, Soplica offers a wide range of authentic fruit-infused liqueurs (Nalewkas). This Quince (Pigwa) variant is meticulously crafted by infusing spirit with natural quince fruit, a golden, aromatic fruit that balances sweetness with a pleasant tartness, offering a complex flavour distinct from more common fruit liqueurs.
On the nose, Soplica Quince offers an incredibly inviting and subtly sweet aroma of ripe quince, with hints of pear and apple, and a delicate floral undertone, reminiscent of a crisp orchard. The palate is defined by its remarkable smoothness and a clean, crisp taste that glides effortlessly. It delivers a harmonious interplay of the quince's natural sweetness and a refreshing, gentle tartness, perfectly balanced by the spirit's inherent purity. The finish is remarkably clean, warming, and long-lasting, leaving a sophisticated impression of its unique fruit character without any artificiality.
Soplica Quince is exceptionally versatile. It is ideally enjoyed neat, chilled, as a sophisticated digestif after a meal, particularly during New Zealand's cooler winter evenings when a warming and flavourful spirit is welcomed. It also serves as an intriguing base for crafting unique cocktails, lending a distinctive fruit character to your creations. Consider it in a "Quince Sour," mixed with ginger ale, or even in a "Winter Sangria" with red wine and spices. It also excels when drizzled over ice cream, fruit salads, or used in baking to impart a rich, aromatic quince flavour to tarts or cakes.
