Water is extracted from our own artesian well 310 meters. Prior to its mergence with alcohol, the water passes through a special sand filter and is enriched with oxygen, which provides it with the unique organoleptic and physical-chemical characteristics.
The spirit is obtained from wheat grains of most valuable plant species with the best quality indicators for the selected year. The highest quality of this kind of the alcohol is achieved due to the fact that additionally within 1 year, the grain matures up in elevators until it reaches the best physiological maturity. During this time, a number of biochemical processes occur in the grain, which significantly improves the organoleptic properties of the spirit and endows the drink with flavors and aromas in a rich range. The addition of the millet alcoholic infusion to the blend helps to enrich the drink with valuable elements and add softness and originality to its taste.
Before bottling, the alcohol-water blend is aged for a month in special water containers in order to harmonize and soften the vodka taste. It is exactly thanks to the aging, that the vodka of this particular brand is distinguished by its rich flavor and aroma palette.

Taste of the vodka is soft but special, absolutely not sharp and at the same time really rich and saturated. The taste shows clearly the grain component of the product, a light, barely noticeable unobtrusive sweetness with hints of vanilla. A soft, pleasant warming aftertaste.
