SV The Silk Vodka has been artisanally-crafted using hundreds of years of Russian vodka heritage combined with the best of 21st century distilling techniques. It is filtered a total of fourteen times to achieve its extraordinary purity. Filtration through five different types of mountain crystals and minerals…crystal quartz, morion, chalcedony, topaz and opal…is used to polish the spirit to an unparalleled level of natural smoothness previously not available in a Russian vodka.
The spirits in SV The Silk Vodka are Luxe grade – the highest possible quality as determined by the Russian Government. Luxe spirits are made exclusively from the finest selections of wheat, rye and barley grown on the rich and fertile Steppes. A carefully controlled multiple-distillation process assures the purest liquid while the grains provide character and soul to the vodka.
The water, much like the Luxe grade spirits, also plays a critical role in the creation of this world-class vodka. Unlike many vodka producers that distill their water, Soyuz-Victan master blenders preserve the character of the source water. They know that distilling water mutes its inherent flavor and mineral qualities. Instead, SV The Silk Vodka is crafted with pristine water sourced from 400-feet deep Artesian wells. This water is then filtered through a state-of-the-art, four stage process and then passed through a series of mountain crystals and silver ions which removes any remaining impurities
While some might scoff at the use of mountain crystals in purifying SV The Silk Vodka, there is in fact both a historical and scientific basis for these steps. Russian folklore is rife with references to the healing nature of crystals. And modern distillation science has further documented their effectiveness in purifying vodka. In a final step, the water for SV The Silk Vodka is finished by passing it through silver ions, a final purification step which master blenders say “restores its memory”.
Only then is the water married with the spirit, and the blended liquid is then filtered through the natural mountain crystals yet again polishing it to the pinnacle of perfecion to be packaged in a bottle that is as dramatic as the vodka itself.
The result? SV The Silk Vodka’s singularly silky mouth feel and an exceptional finish so smooth that it has been dubbed: The Silk Vodka. SV The Silk Vodka, an entirely new taste experience certain to please aficionados of Russian vodka.
According to vodka spirits expert Robert Plotkin of BarMedia, SV The Silk Vodka offers “a featherweight body with the aroma of sweet grain that highlights its generous, pleasant bouquet…it fills the mouth with delectable grain and malty flavors that persist long into the flawless finish.”
