This cleans any remaining impurities. It is then distilled a fourth time to create totally pure spirit. This is high saturation distilling, with New Zealand Spring water, which is unique to 42 Below.42 Below is a smooth, full, grain-based vodka similar in style to vodkas produced in Scandinavian countries, which differ from the potato and rye-based vodkas typical of Russia and Poland. A characteristic of grain-based vodkas is that they have a smoother taste than their rye or potato-based counterparts. 42 Below is batch-distilled just out of Wellington by a distiller with more than 20 years experience in the industry, using water that has attained the highest purity rating possible.

Vodka : 42 BELOW - Manuka Honey 70cl Bottle 42 Below's manuka honey vodka is made with the purest ingredients. The honey is taken from special beehives placed in New Zealand's manuka tree plantations. Unlike most honeys, manuka is darker and more savoury with oaky flavours and a hint of caramel.To make the premium vodka, the raw manuka honey is vapourised by applying direct heat, driving off steam, that condenses into a rich essence. 42 Below Vodka is then infused with the honey essence. The complex flavours are easily absorbed and create a unique spirit that is drinkable either over ice or as part of a premium cocktail like 'honey on the rocks' or 'manuka mule'.42 Below Vodkas have already won a series of awards and are capturing the imagination of leading bartenders, mixologists and sommeliers around the world.

Vodka : 42 BELOW - Feijoa (pineapple guava) 70cl Bottle The distinctive fruit has been picked by the bucket-load, to obtain the purest fruit essence, pure enough to match the sanctity of ingredients in 42 Below vodka. 42 Below do not just add feijoa juice or synthesize the flavour. They collect the flesh of the fruit. They gather the heady, fruity steam produced when it is heated. They turn that into a liquid which is the very essence of the feijoa, and they infuse that into the vodka.The result is a crystal-pure vodka infused with the intense flavours and aromas of this slightly citrus, slightly sweet, very fresh and almost strange fruit. A fruit well known by New Zealanders and South Americans, but little known elsewhere. A real backyard fruit - and that is where you find the ingredients to go with it such as fresh mint, local apple and pear juices or citruses. It is a world first from 42 Below and there are more unique flavours up their sleeves yet!

Although vodka should be served well-chilled, it should be tasted at room temperature as the cold decreases the aromatic intensity. Even cheap vodka may taste acceptable when served straight from the freezer!

Vodka : SPIRYTUS REKTYFIKOWANY 35cl Bottle Rectified Spirit

Vodka : SPUTNIK 70cl Bottle The exact recipe is closely guarded but is based on the traditional Russian methods of vodka distillation, perfected to an art through decades of making Sputnik Vodka. The key stages of their methods that are essential for creating the quality you will find in our vodka:The highest quality winter grain is distilled and filtered through tons of birch charcoal, sourced from the Perm region of Russia, resulting in a superior de-luxe class spirit. This process is meticulously repeated three times to purify the spirit and achieve a smooth finish that is also low in methanol (less than 2 mg per litre). Methanol in the higher levels is unhealthy and commonly associated with hangovers.The natural spring water in Sputnik Vodka is refined through unique silver filters that deliver ultimate purity. The delicious grain flavour is intensified by the freshness that only natural, un-distilled water can offer. The water is the blended with the spirit (at 3 water molecules to 1) to meet the Russian vodka standard of 40% abv. Historically in Russia, vodkas with less than 40% ABV are considered sub-standard and regarded as pseudo-vodkas.Subtle hints of Acacia honey enhance the vodka's character and give Sputnik a smooth yet perfectly balanced taste.

To taste it is to know why the Czars and nobility of Old Russia always enjoyed their vodka straight.Smirnoff Black honours the return of Smirnoff to Russia where they were purveyors to the Imperial Russian Court. Made traditionally, it is slowly distilled and then filtered through Siberian Silver Birch charcoal to create a uniquely smooth and mellow vodka, best savoured neat and frozen.As the revolution overturned the Russian Empire, Vladimir Smirnoff, Head of Russia`s leading distillery and exclusive purveyor of Vodka to the Czar, was arrested and sentenced to death by firing squad. Very luckily for Vladimir, and for the future of the spirits industry, the prison was stormed by White Russian troops just before his execution was to be carried out. He managed to flee to Poland, carrying with him the only two assets he had left: his name and the formulae for vodka which had made his family name famous.With the dissolution of the Soviet Union, it at last became possible for the successors of Vladimir Smirnoff to return to Russia and explore the roots of their product.They studied the old methods of distillation, the small copper pot-stills which the Smirnoff familiy had originally used to produce small batches of fine vodka for the Imperial household. Then, using highest quality native Russian grain, and pure Russian silver birch charcoal as a filtering agent, they produced an extraordinary product, a style of vodka which has not been tasted since the days of the Czars.

Among Vodkas' first connoisseurs were the likes of Johann Goethe, Immanuel Kant, Karl Linnet, and King Gustav II. Historians called vodka the 'locomotive of progress' and philosophers called it the great creator. In fact Vodka has played a vital role in the production of the first powerful foundries and railways. Appreciating the unique taste of vodka, Voltaire, known to be well versed in French wines, labeled Vodka one of the 'greatest discoveries of mankind' in his correspondence with the Russian Empress.This is just a short history of vodka, which has been proven a libation for the great, successful, courageous, and free. Embarking on a new and unique recipe for an elite strain of vodka only a few years ago, the experts at Nemiroff Ukrainian Vodka Company strove to achieve a final product which could renew that 'golden era' of vodka history. A product, whose power and unique taste and qualities will turn around traditional ideas about the consumption of vodka, as well as expand its consumer appeal to a wider market base.In November 2003, Nemiroff unveiled its standard bearer for the High Premium class' new Nemiroff Lex Vodka. In Latin 'Lex' (the Law), and the improved smoothness of this vodka has been achieved by the additional use of flavored alcohol from oat flakes and lime blossoms to bring out its light and delicate flavour. Finally, all of the ingredients are combined in strict adherence to customary and regulated proportions so as not to change the classic flavour of the vodka, instead only enhancing its noble and smooth taste.Several revolutionary techniques have been applied to the technology of Nemiroff Lex production:the alcohol is selected from specific sources allowing for better purification parameters, which considerably exceeds the established norms of compliance for the luxury class spirit;following control and testing the alcohol used in the production of Nemiroff Lex, is aged for 6 months in order to accumulate the noble mixtures and harmonize its unique flavour;Improvement in classic technology of vodka purification (Nemiroff's know-how) allows increasing time and efficiency of purification by several times and excluding traditional growth of undesirable impurities therein.Waves of flavour from this new vodka are subtle and changeable and its taste peculiarities are multiple and mature, thus all together enabling those who try it to slowly and without haste feel the true and elegant core of this really noble libation with centuries-old history.
