Skyy Vodka, 1 L, 40% The history of Skyy Vodka The entrepreneur Maurice Kanbar founded the company called Skyy Spirits in San Francisco, California in 1992 to bring the clearest, purest vodka possible to the market. Since he was bothered by the "spiritiness" of most vodkas in the affordable segment, he developed his own process to produce the best vodka for him. With great expertise and commitment, he developed a four-fold distillation process that is temperature-controlled. The production of Skyy Vodka The temperature control makes it possible to separate the fusel alcohol and aldehydes from the drinkable ethanol alcohol with extraordinary precision. After the distillation process, the pure vodka goes through a triple filtration process to remove other undesirable ingredients. In addition to the better and purer taste, a lower proportion of fusel alcohol is also better for your health than spirits with a high content of these substances. The distinctive blue bottle Like many other vodka bottles, the bottle for Skyy Vodka was initially made of uncolored glass. However, just one year after the company was founded, it was decided to use a cobalt blue colored and minimalist designed bottle. This bottle quickly became Skyy's trademark and its striking appearance is now a must in any bar. Skyy Vodka, made from high-quality American wheat, tastes incomparably balanced, round and extremely smooth. This inimitable mildness also makes it very popular with bartenders. Because it hardly influences the taste of other ingredients, it is ideal for mixing cocktails and long drinks.

Chopin Rye Vodka 0.7L 40% The Chopin distillery was founded in 1992 by Tad Dorda and quickly impressed with its exceptional quality and elaborate premium packaging. This was a novelty in the vodka industry at the time, and so Chopin Vodka is closely associated with the start of the super-premium vodka hype. The vodka is named after one of the country's most famous sons - the famous pianist Frédéric Chopin.For this Rye Vodka, the best rye varieties from the Podlasie region are selected, which are sustainably grown there by local farmers. Only pure rye, water and the purest spring water are used for distillation in copper pot stills. Delicate notes of rye and vanilla can be detected on the nose. In the mouth, the Chopin Rye is very elegant, complex and nestles silkily on the palate. The intense aftertaste makes the hearts of many vodka lovers beat faster!

Oval Vodka Spirit Miniature 24% Vol. In over ten years of research, the research team led by Prof. Valery Sorokin succeeded in producing the world's first structured vodka. While in traditional vodka production the alcohol is simply mixed with water after distillation, Oval Vodka does this using a patented process.The water purified by reverse osmosis is mixed with the 96.5% alcohol in a process that takes days using precisely defined movement and temperature control. Three water molecules are arranged around an alcohol molecule and together form a tetrahedral structure that neutralizes unpleasant additives.This makes Oval Vodka particularly smooth and mild. The special structuring process is particularly suitable for certain alcohol contents. Oval Vodka 24% is the lowest level and is ideal as a food accompaniment due to its low alcohol content.
