How Deluxe Original Vodka is made
Deluxe Original Vodka starts with selected wheat and rye and water drawn from beneath a glacier. The spirit is distilled ten times and then filtered in five stages.
- One
Grain selection
Wheat for softness, rye for structure. Both are graded before milling; anything that fails goes back.
- Two
Mash and ferment
Milled grain meets glacial water. Fermentation is run slow and cool to keep harsh congeners from forming in the first place.
- Three
Ten distillations
Each pass narrows the cut. By the tenth, what remains is almost entirely the part of the spirit worth keeping.
- Four
Five filtrations
Activated charcoal strips what distillation left behind. Quartz crystal and gold finish the job and give the vodka its polish.
- Five
Bottling
Filled, sealed and hand-checked. The bottle is heavy on purpose: it is meant to stay on the table, not in the bin.
How to serve Deluxe Original Vodka
Deluxe Original Vodka holds its shape against citrus, tonic and ice. Serve it over a single large cube, or use it in a Vesper or a vodka tonic where the grain should still come through.
