In Russia, giving alcohol for a holiday or anniversary has already become a tradition. But here the main thing is to be able to choose the right gift. He should please a dear person and demonstrate your respect for him. Usually cognac or wine is chosen as an alcoholic present, but you can do otherwise – give elite vodka. I will talk about the best brands of premium gift vodka.
Elite vodka should not have a taste – this rule is observed by all producers. But even after multi-stage cleaning with charcoal and other methods, a certain aftertaste remains, which tasters call “character”. True, very few people know how to recognize vodka only by the aftertaste. Therefore, when choosing a gift, first of all, I advise you to focus not on the aftertaste, but on the popularity of the brand and the appearance of the bottle.
One of the most elite vodkas is the Kauffman trademark (Kaufman). Produced since 2002. The full name of the brand is Kauffman Private Collection Luxury. Immediately after its appearance, this vodka became a symbol of luxury and prosperity. Interestingly, it is bottled only once a year, the date of the spill is always indicated on the label.
The drink comes in an expensive beautiful bottle of designer work. The average price of Kauffman Private Collection Luxury is 5 thousand rubles per liter. This is one of the most expensive and elite vodkas that enter the mass market.
The second recognizable vodka brand is the Ukrainian trademark Nemiroff (Nemirov). In the premium class, it is represented by Nemiroff Lex, an elite vodka made from deluxe spirits aged for at least 6 months. During production, oatmeal and linden flowers are added to the vodka. Succinic acid is used for cleaning. The price for Nemiroff Lex starts from 550 rubles per 0,7 liter.
The third most recognizable brand is the Russian trademark “Beluga” (Beluga), which in just a few years has received worldwide recognition. In the elite segment, the manufacturer is represented by Beluga Gold Line vodka. The price for a gift option starts from 4500 rubles. This vodka is produced in only one factory. No more than 900 bottles leave the conveyor per day, the entire technological cycle takes about three months. It is interesting that each bottle of “Beluga” is sealed with sealing wax. The kit comes with a hammer and a brush, used to remove sealing wax and wipe dust.
Among the elite vodkas, the Russian Standard brand should also be noted. In the premium segment, it has its own brand – “Russian Standard Empire”, the price starts from 1100 rubles per 0,75 liters. The drink is made on the basis of grain alcohol of the highest quality at one of the oldest distilleries in St. Petersburg. Water for diluting alcohol is taken from the purest glaciers of the North.
Vodkas of such brands as “Finlandia” (Finland) and “Absolut” (Absolute) are also suitable for a gift. These are also one of the most recognizable vodka brands in the world, sold in beautiful expensive packages. The price starts from 500 rubles. You can choose flavors such as vanilla, lemon, cranberry, etc.
The list of gift vodkas can go on and on, but the brands mentioned above are the most recognizable, therefore, as an elite vodka, I recommend buying them first.
