Polish whiskey to debut in the US

Jabłonka based Polish distillery Z. Kozub i Synowie set to enter the US market at the end of March. “We want to start selling straight rye whiskey, and then offer single malt and blended malt whiskey,” Maciej Kozub was quoted as saying by the Polish daily Rzeczpospolita. “We plan to produce 120,000  bottles of whiskey, 5000 a month,” he added. The company decided to open its second distillery near Tampa, Florida, due to a growing popularity of locally produced whiskey in the US. “ Americans went crazy about locally produced alcohols. Whiskeys and bourbons from small, independent distilleries set popularity records. What is more,  Americans have no problem with spending $60-70 for a bottle,” Kozub said. The production in the US distillery will start in April. Z. Kozub i Synowie was established in 2005. The company specializes in production and sales of alcohol.
