Polish whisky to debut in the US

Jabłonka-based Polish distillery Z. Kozub i Synowie (Z. Kozub and Sons) are set to enter the US market at the end of March. “We want to start selling straight rye whisky, and then offer single malt and blended malt whisky,” Maciej Kozub was quoted as saying by the Polish daily Rzeczpospolita. “We plan to produce 120,000  bottles of whisky, 5,000 a month,” he added. The company decided to open its second distillery near Tampa, Florida, due to the growing popularity of locally produced whisky in the US. “Americans went crazy about locally produced alcohols. Whiskys 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 the production and sales of alcohol.
