Uluvka is a Royal Inspired Polish Vodka Thats HOT in London

U'Luvka Vodka is an award-winning blend of wheat, rye and barley crafted from a legendary recipe dating from 17th Century Poland. A Gold-medal winner time and again, it has a deliciously elegant and smooth texture. It’s lightly buttery with impressive sweet, savoury and spicy flavours; anise -seed freshness followed by a long vibrant grain finish.

U’Luvka Vodka is inspired by the 17th Century Polish Royal Court. Legend has it that in 1603, King Sigismund III of Poland commissioned the famous alchemist Sendivogius to develop a vodka of the finest purity and quality to be enjoyed by his royal court all night long, yet leave them feeling good with just pleasant memories the next day!

This might be a good fit for Prince William's Bachelor Party!

And yes the bottles can be engraved with a message like:

Will you marry me?
