OUR NAME – POLONÉE

Polonée means Polish in French with a slight modification from the conventional Polonais spelling. “Née” at the end of the word “Polonée” means born… in essence, a Polish born distillery.

Poles have been producing spirits since the early Middle Ages, distilling their skills to produce some of the best alcohols available in the world, many of which date back centuries.

Our goal is to create spirits that are based on traditional Polish recipes and handmade with natural ingredients and no artificial flavours… the way they used to make them!

PHEAGLE = PHOENIX + EAGLE

Pheagle is a hybrid between an Eagle and a Phoenix and is our distillery’s symbol. 

Eagle is the national coat of arms of Poland and represents our cultural background.

Phoenix is a Greek mythological bird, which obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor.  

The PHEAGLE symbolizes us, as being the next generation of Polish people in Canada, trying to make something new from old traditional Polish recipes.
