Distiller Notes
Russian Standard Gold starts like other Russian Standard vodkas--hardy winter wheat from the Black Steppes and glacial water from Lake Ladoga are combined and then distilled and quadruple filtered through charcoal.
But during the process, Russian Standard Gold is infused with Siberian ginseng, inspired by an ancient recipe. While not a flavored vodka, it tastes of hints of caramel and vanilla. A distinctively rich and exceptionally smooth vodka with a warm and creamy mouthfeel, it is an ideal sipping vodka, neat or on the rocks. The beautiful embossed bottle makes for an attractive addition to your home bar and is also a perfect gift.
Aroma: Herbal with hints of caramel
Taste: Vanilla and soft spice
Mouth Feel: Round and creamy
Finish: Warm and long
Made from the distillation of anything containing fermentable sugars, Straight Vodka is a clear and unaged spirit. Cereal grains like wheat, rye and barley are the most commonly used bases, but modern Vodkas are now made from crops as diverse as sugar beets, grapes and potatoes. Ideally Straight Vodkas should be colorless, odorless and flavorless. They are sipped chilled and neat, or used as a base for a variety of cocktails, from the Martini to the Cosmopolitan.
