This vodka is named after the Lublin Voivodeship and the county. It is also named after the city of Lublin, which the company was produced in. Lubelska is made out of natural ingredients, which is soaked in vodka, so that it makes a fruity taste.

Since the vodka grew popular, Lubelska releases more new flavors, and new features. The most recent flavor was mango, which was added on April 2020,[1] bringing the total flavors to ten.

It is one of the most popular flavored vodkas in Poland, as it is very similar to Krupnik and Soplica.

## History[edit]

Lubelska was established in 1906 when Polmos Lublin started to distill vodka at the same year. Polmos Lublin is a vodka distiller based on Lublin. The reason why they chose the name "Lubelska" is that it is named after the Lublin Governorate in Congress Poland at this time. It was distilled alongside Wódka Żołądkowa Gorzka in 1950 and it was the largest liqueur companies by the 20th century.

In 2004, Lubelska went worldwide. Some vodkas were not available in the U.S. and other countries because they handed out Lubelska mostly in Europe. On the bottles, it was labelled with a Polmos Lublin logo, and under the flavor of the vodka, it marked Lubelska in cursive. This design and the logo was updated in 2009, with a Lubelska logo with a crown on top of the "Lubelska."

In 2010, Lubelska is the fastest growing vodka in Poland. They give several awards in this decade because more people are buying Lubelska in several flavors. Due to the popularity, Lubelska changed the alcohol by volume from 36 to 32% in 2011 and render the design again. In 2014, Lubelska was the largest flavored vodka in Poland, which many people buy this item for over ten flavors and several sizes.

In 2015, Lubelska introduced 40 millimeter cups that makes it easier to taste test instead of buying a 100 ml bottle. It comes with lemon and grapefruit vodkas.[2] Between 2010 and 2015, several flavors were removed like the peach vodka, and render this design again, and the font size of the flavor was changed. The alcohol by volume was reduced from 32 to 30% currently, and from 34 to 30% in grapefruit vodka in smaller bottles.

In 2017, the bottle design was redesigned for better look of the bottle, and it was still the most popular flavored vodka in Poland. They removed the black background on the Lubelska logo. In 2018, two more flavors were added, the blackberry and pear vodka, a total of 9 flavors in Lubelska vodkas.

In 2019, Lubelska released two flavors of soda, of which one is lemon while the other one is orange. It was bottled in 200 ml bottles and contain 25% alcohol by volume.[3] In 2020, Lubelska released a mango vodka, bringing the flavors to 10.[1]
