Luksusowa Vodka (Polish: Wódka luksusowa) is a brand of vodka from Poland that is distilled from potatoes.[1][2][3] The Polish word luksusowa means "luxury"; thus in English-language markets, it is also referred to as Luksusowa Luxury Vodka.[4]

Luksusowa has been in continuous production since 1928,[1][2][3] making it one of the oldest Polish vodkas.[3] When Poland's boundaries were moved westward after World War II, Luksusowa's production was moved to its current site in Zielona Góra. According to its producer, Luksusowa accounts for approximately 10% of Poland's vodka market.
In 2010, W.J. Deutsch & Sons, Ltd. became the exclusive United States importer for Luksusowa.
Luksusowa vodkas are currently available in these varieties:
- Clear (traditional)
- Black (50% alcohol by volume, compared to 40% in the other varieties)
- Citrus (lemon-flavored)
- Wild Berry ("blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, cranberries, and a touch of wild cherry")
