Polish vodka Żubrówka Vanilla Flavoured Vodka took home both “Vodka of the Year” and “Best Spirit by Value” at the 2026 London Spirits Competition, one of Europe’s most respected spirits contests, judged by a panel of over 70 industry professionals with entries from more than 30 countries. The vodka earned a Double Gold distinction and a score of 98 out of 100. Its recipe leans on natural infusion with Madagascar vanilla pods, giving it a botanical character rather than a candied or artificial one. On the nose, it offers vanilla cream and light caramel; the palate is smooth, with vanilla custard, subtle spice, and faint almond notes, finishing medium-long and clean. The win reaffirms the continued popularity of Eastern European flavored vodkas in Western markets.
A selection of vodkas and other spirits is available in Mister Tabaco’s Alcohol category.
