Dear Friend of U’Luvka
I wanted to write to you and tell you a little bit about the adventure that U’Luvka has takenme on over the last few years. But before I do I would like to acknowledge your role in the story.
80 % of buying decisions are made at the point of sale. In U’Luvka’s case that means primarilyat the bar. So without bartenders we cannot do our job, as they communicate the valuesof our brands and sell them to our consumers.
Without you we cannot do our job because you are our link with the bartenders. Thus youare all very important to us. I wanted to share some of this story with you before we meet.
I discovered U’Luvka, its story and heritage, 10 years ago with dear friends in Poland. Thesefriends introduced me to their famous Polish hospitality, the legend of U’Luvka and themagical U’Luvka glasses. This Polish tradition of drinking vodka and eating with friends oldand new enchanted me, especially when I woke up on the floor after the first time in theearly hours of the morning.
The rumours of this ancient vodka recipe not only were fascinating, but also by all thetraditions and rituals of friendship and pleasure that surrounded the story.
I learnt that in 1603 King Sigismund III of Poland commissioned the famous alchemistSendivogius to develop a vodka of the finest purity and most exceptional quality that couldbe enjoyed by his royal court, and thus spare them the consequences of their many latenights. Legend has it that what he created was so extraordinary that he was hailed a genius.
Searching through many ancient archives, court records and legends, I eventuallyrediscovered this centuries old royal Polish recipe. It has been meticulously recreated, usingonly the finest ingredients, by one of Poland’s foremost distillers. The result is U’Luvka,outstanding, clean and elegant vodka of great heritage and distinction.This is now yours to enjoy.
I look forward to the opportunity of meeting with you personally in the near future andrediscovering together the spirit of this true genius.
Please feel free to contact me at any time on [email protected].
With Friendship, Love and Pleasure

U’LUVKA VODKA TASTING NOTES
Ian Wisniewski – Spirits writer and ConnoisseurNose: Fresh, ripe grain notes, clean and direct with real body, and a good range
of nuances: spice, sherbet, and nuttiness.
Palate: Initially delicate with a creamy, lightly buttery character, and an impressive,sweet, savoury, spicy balance with underlying ryness, expanding further with aniseedfreshness and spice. Vibrant grain finish retains freshness and keeps delivering flavour.
Comment: “It would be difficult to make this any better.”
Simon Difford - Founder CLASS Magazine, Difford’s Guides & Source GuideSubtle and weirdly pleasing. Hints of rubber underlay on the nose. Smooth, rounded and clean.
Very slightly sweet with hints of aniseed and salted butter. Oozes character. Scores 5/5.
Colin Appiah - Fifteen, Circus, Lab and Cocktail KingsThat’s the best vodka I have ever tried, and the first sipping vodka which I could drink at
room temperature.
Nick Strangeway - The Hospital, Che, Cecconni, Floridita, Hawksmoor and The GeorgeU'Luvka is both beautiful and practical. The bottle leads you into the quality that you wouldexpect to find inside. The aesthetic is complete. Aesthetically pleasing to look at and touch,
and aesthetically a pleasure to drink. A combination unusual in the vodka market.
Nidal Ramini – Co-Founder Dusk, K Bar and Montgomery PlaceU’Luvka produces the best vodka martini I have ever tasted. Simple as that.

TASTING NOTES & COMMENTS FROM USA
Anthony Dias Blue - Leading Spirits Critic & Founder of The San Francisco Spirits Competition“Mellow, Creamy U’Luvka is very sleek and silky with dry cereal flavors, honey and spice
tones and a beautifully lingering finish. 95/100 points.”
“U’Luvka is more than just vodka, it is a luxury spirit.”
Ben Pundole - F&B Director Morgan Hotel Group“U’Luvka is a perfect brand match for our luxury boutique hotels.”
Lennel Smothers - Founder Lennells Wine & Spirit Boutique, NYC“I am a whiskey gal. U’Luvka is the vodka I enjoy drinking.”
Brian Van Flandern – Spirit Critic, Lecturer & Manager, Bemelman’s Bar, Carlyle Hotel, NYC“In an endless sea of new vodkas flooding the market U'luvka stands alone. It seems that
most vodkas are more interested in capturing market share than creating a quality product.At the end of the day the key to any great spirit is passion and flavor. Friendship, love and
pleasure are not just the meaning of the symbol on the front of the bottle, they are atestament to the passion of the producers. The hand blown phallic bottle suggests virilityand sexuality. And like a great cocktail that balances acid, sugar and alcohol, U'luvka's
recipe of wheat, barley and rye has a wonderfully assertive flavor that belies the commonnotion that vodka has no taste. If ordering this vodka in a classic martini, one would be
well advised to order it stirred and not shaken so as to avoid dilution and take advantageof the lingering finish.”
