It scored a 94 at the 2003 International Review of Spirits, the highest score, tying with Stolichnaya, from Russia. It is produced under the brand of and with the recipes of the pre-war Polish spirits producer J. A. Baczewski.

History

Monopolowa is a Polish language generic adjective referring to state monopoly. Nevertheless, this name refers to a privilege of the Nobility. In the mid-17th century, a monopoly was granted to the szlachta on producing and selling vodka in their territories. (see History of the vodka in Poland)

The original company was founded in Bromberg (today, Bydgoszcz in Poland). In 1873, the company, which supplied the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire, was reorganized in Jägerndorf (Krnov), Silesia, and its brand name “Altvater” gained world renown.

After the collapse of Austria-Hungary after World War I, licenses were granted to branches in Vienna, Budapest, Czernowitz, Bielitz (Bielsko) and Agram (Zagreb). After the Second World War, most of the branches in Eastern Europe were nationalized and became state operated. The Vienna branch continued to produce various products, including Monopolowa.

After the Second World War, Eduard Gessler, the owner of the Altvater Gessler Company in Vienna, Austria, distantly related to the Baczewski family, reacquired the J.A. Baczewski mark. Under Eduard Gessler’s guidance, Altvater Gessler and J.A. Baczewski reunited under the combined name Altvater Gessler - J.A. Baczewski, with its principal place of business in Vienna, Austria.

The reconstituted company continued to specialize in quality alcoholic products for domestic consumption in Austria and for export to various countries in various continents, to include Australia, Africa, Asia, Europe and North America, most notably the United States. Its centuries’ old reputation and record of quality led to its being selected as the only representative of the Austrian liquor industry at the International World Fair in Chicago in 1950.

Eduard Gessler was responsible for the reintroduction of J.A. Baczewski Vodka Monopolowa. Monopolowa is a distinctive potato vodka, produced of a traditional formula, imbued with a distinct intensity, smoothness, depth of flavor and complexity of character, all attributable to a “back-to-basics” tradition of being distilled from potatoes. (Vodka, native to Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, as well as Russia, was traditionally assumed to be made from potatoes. Presently, most other vodkas are produced from grain.)

Following Eduard Gessler’s death in 1979, his son Elek Gessler consolidated the affairs of both traditional companies into one new legal entity in 1980, which to this day is known as “Altvater Gessler - J.A. Baczewski, GmbH”, an Austrian corporation. In 1983, Elek Gessler established Altvater Gessler - J.A. Baczewski International (USA) Inc., a New Jersey, USA, Corporation, to manage United States operations. To this date, both companies are owned solely by the Gessler family.

After Poland became a democratic country in 1989, the Starogard Gdański based branch of the Polmos company started to produce several of J.A. Baczewski's products under license from Altvater Gessler - J.A. Baczewski International (USA) Inc. However, in the late 1990s the license was terminated and production in Poland was halted.

Monopolowa has consistently scored top marks in awards and is attractive for consumers looking for a high quality product with a low price. In 2008 the independent Beverage Testing Institute has given Monopolowa a rating of 92 points out of 100, calling it "exceptional".
