SPIRITS

In Polish, Spirytus rektyfikowany means rectified spirit. A rectified spirit is highly concentrated ethanol which has been purified by means of repeated distillation, a process that is called rectification. Polmos Warszawa is the sole producer of rectified spirit in Poland. The Polish product is distilled to slightly above 95% (190 proof) - effectively becoming a pure spirit. Rectified spirits such as Spirytus are used in mixed drinks, in the production of liqueurs, for medicinal purposes, and as a household solvent. This extraordinarily strong spirit needs to be treated with respect so use it sparingly and thoughtfully. Drunk diluted & chilled it traditionally makes a fine accompaniment to fish dishes.
