History

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. They only 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 serif font "Lubelska" logo with a crown on top of the text.

In 2010, Lubelska is the fastest growing vodka in Poland. They give several awards in this decade because more people are buying Lubelska. 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. The reason to decrease ABV is to get more natural, sweet taste.

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. 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. 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.
