We broke the spellon nalewka.

The same fruit, the same tradition - a new approach. Craft in step with the times.

01 / History

Polish nalewka, rewritten.

Nalewka is a category older than any brand on the market. For decades it stood still: homemade, oversweetened, sold on nostalgia. Nobody treated it as a modern craft spirit. So we did.

Our grandparents made alcohol at home. We inherited the reason. We started from the same place - fruit and patience - and we are carrying the story on.

Nie Przelewki began in 2020 in Skierniewice - a small town 80 km from Warsaw, in the heart of Poland's orchard region. We were the first to call fruit nalewka craft - and we built the brand behind a real bar, not in a marketing meeting. A new chapter for a category that had been waiting for one.

We did not invent nalewka. We brought it up from the cellar and put it on the bar.

The recipe is simple: fruit from Polish orchards, sugar and six-times rectified 60% grain spirit from a Polish distillery - exceptionally smooth, made to carry the fruit rather than fight it. Every bottle goes through the full cycle: maceration, settling, clarification, filtration and stabilisation. No shortcuts - so the colour, aroma and flavour are pure fruit, nothing more.

In 2026 three of our nalewki won medals at the International Spirits Challenge: Spiced Quince and Rhubarb - silver, Blackcurrant - bronze.

02 / Brand philosophy

Six lines we do not cross.

  1. 01

    Natural maceration

    Fruit from Polish orchards, six-times rectified grain spirit (60%) from Polish grain and 25-35 g of sugar per litre - depending on the fruit and its ripeness. Maceration, settling, clarification, filtration and stabilisation - the full cycle. No flavourings, no extracts, no colourings.

  2. 02

    17.5% - always

    The same alcohol content in every flavour. A consistent feel on the palate, predictable pairings, no “about”. A bartender's rule.

  3. 03

    No expiry date

    Alcohol is a preservative. Our nalewki don't spoil - they settle and open up.

  4. 04

    Polish manufaktura

    Made in Poland, controlled at every stage. Every batch labelled, every bottle fully traceable.

  5. 05

    Dry by principle

    25-35 g of sugar per litre puts us on the dry, fruit-led side. Enough to round out the flavour, never so much that it hides it. Made to pair with food, not to compete with it.

  6. 06

    Tested behind the bar

    Every flavour was put through a real test behind the bar before it reached the shelf. We serve what works - literally.
