There are four components that determine vodka quality: water, ingredients, distillation and filtration.
Silk Vodka’s unique quality is created from pristine water from 400-feet-deep Artesian wells; a blend of the finest rye, wheat and barley from the rich and fertile Russian Steppes; and a five time distillation of its Luxe grade spirits. But it is the extraordinary 14 step filtration process through natural mountain crystals that result in Silk Vodka’s unmatched smoothness and purity.
The mountain crystal filtration – through topaz, opal, crystal quartz, morion, and chalcedony - is not for the sake of novelty. This rich process polishes Silk to an unprecedented level of natural smoothness and further links the soul of the vodka to its Russian heritage.
The virgin water source was selected to complement the Luxe spirits in Silk Vodka. Luxe spirits – the highest grade awarded by the Russian Government - are made from the classic Russian grain blend and define its unique character. Silk Vodka master blenders preserve the character of the source water maintaining its inherent flavors and mineral qualities while purifying it through a four stage filtration process. It travels through mountain crystals, silver ions, and birch charcoal which remove all impurities.
Finally the water is married with the spirit and filtered yet again, polishing the blended liquid to perfection with exceptional finish so smooth that it has been dubbed: The Silk Vodka.
According to vodka spirits expert Robert Plotkin of BarMedia, 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.”
