Hallo,
Ich war also auf der Arbeit bei Enterprise Rent a Car in Schottland und dieser Kunde kam, um ein Auto zurückzugeben. Er war ein netter polnischer Typ und bot mir sogar an, mir seine restlichen Zigaretten zu geben, leider versuche ich damit aufzuhören.
Meine Freundin ist Polin, also habe ich auf Polnisch mit ihm gesprochen, also eher auf Ponglisch, aber er war trotzdem beeindruckt. Er sagte, er wolle diese Flasche Schnaps einem wirklich freundlichen Schotten schenken, den er auf seiner Reise treffen würde. Er sagte, er hätte es vergessen, war aber wirklich beeindruckt von meinen Polnischkenntnissen. Also gab er es mir.
Er sagte, es sei cytrynówka von biały, ich glaube, es bedeutete auf Polnisch „weißer Turm“. Ich wollte nur wissen, was er mit dieser Biały-Sache meinte und ob das normal ist, was die polnischen Leute tun, und ob ich darauf vertrauen kann, dass es echt ist und ich morgens nicht blind werde.
Ich würde meine Freundin fragen, aber sie ist seit ihrem dritten Lebensjahr in Großbritannien und ihre Mutter ist überhaupt keine große Trinkerin.
Vielen Dank,
Auf Wiedersehen

Yes.
Yep, have been gifted this sort of thing in Poland before. I believe (although I may be wrong, happy to be corrected) that’s it’s more of an infusion-type thing made with shop-bought Vodka (along the lines of Sloe Gin), rather than an actual home-distilled spirit so you should be fine.
Białowieża?
Białystok?
I’d trust it if the guy was feeling ok.
Highest honor in Poland
Bless people who keep Polish alchemy tradition alive.
Pretty much. Lots of people here knows how to make alcohol.
Not that long ago even vodka was limited in purchase so people found a way around it.
It’s like tradition but not the one you should be proud about.
It definitely still happens to gift someone homemade spirits, many people are passionate about home alcohol production (wine, beer, flavoured spirits like this), in spite of the legalities around this. I understand your apprehension to test it out, I’d also be cautious if it were from some random guy. All I’d add is that it’s a sign of respect that you received this, people don’t usually go out giving homemade spirits away.
Cytrynowka is a common one. Not sure about the ‚bialy something‘ though, maybe others will have an idea.
A polish guy giving you home made alcohol from his stash is bigger than you imagine.
Imagine a happy golden retriever giving you one of his favourite balls. You guys bonded 😆
Woohoo, home made cytrynówka is a great alcohol, so cheers for you. Yeah, home made alcohol is a very kind gift if this is made by passionate people (and not addicted person). But be careful – well made lemon alcohol can be made that you will not feel the alcohol much – only after few drinks when you stand up 😀
Drink with open eyes 👀
Not really a common custom, but a very welcome and endearing one. This customer is on the upper echelon of courtesy.
For sure it’s a welcoming gesture 🙂
Yes. He probably meant Białowieża, which is a town. It might be normal vodka infused with lemon in this case or it might be homemade. I have seen homemade vodka like this.
Yes. It’s like giving someone flowers from frolist that will die in 3 days vs growing your own, freshly picking them and giving them to someone.
What I’m trying to say is a handmade gift is almost always better than store-bought one, especially the alcohol since it’s usually way higher quality than anything you can buy.
It’s probably the best alcohol you will ever have had in your petty life.
Me and my future father in law got really fucked up drinking this.
I had two choices, do shots of the moonshine, or don’t marry his daughter 😂
Bimber, clean spirit, leaves no hangover 💪🏻
You Sir just got blessed with the highest honor of being given real, homemade Polish alcohol.
I wouldn’t drink it, I’d place it somewhere on display and label it with the name who gave it to you and on which date.
Or drink it but label the empty bottle I guess so it wont go to waste.
That looks like cytrynówka or bimber with addon flavors, This is the best alcohol you can have! If it’s moonshine, it’s deceptive, tastes like juicebox but knocks you out because it can have 50%+ alcohol!
That’s an elite custom, not a normal one, you won’t find it just at anyone’s house but when you do you’re in for some good time
Szkoci boją się Polskiego bimbru, coś pięknego.
Cytrynówka w moich kubkach, thc w bibułkach…
Nie czekaj za stary na to już kurwa jestem…
Enjoy polish culture of selfmade liquors. That shit’s lit.
Bro, that is straight partytime liquor there. Wait for the proper occasion and enjoy!
Congratulations, they liked you.
