🥃 Sobieski Vanilla
Vanilla-flavoured vodka from the Sobieski brand on a rye base; gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2025.
Sobieski Vanilla is a vanilla-flavoured vodka from the Sobieski brand. Earlier trade materials sometimes used the name Vanilia, so you may see that name on older bottles. The official website lists it among the brand's five flavoured vodkas; it does not state the strength, so check the label for your market.
According to a 2015 Prepared Foods article, the flavoured Sobieski versions are made on the brand's rye vodka base with natural flavourings. The authors describe a brown sugar and hazelnut aroma, an oily texture and a soft caramel finish in the vanilla version. In 2025 it won a gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Why this matters to you. Vanilla vodka tastes sweeter than the classic Sobieski Clear Vodka and suits dessert cocktails. If you are comparing it with other brands, consider Absolut Vanilia. In the EU a flavoured vodka must be at least 37.5% ABV, so the strength can differ between markets. The WHO reminds us: there is no safe level of alcohol consumption.
