A carbonated drink with a strength of 40% is not unique, but unusual: carbon dioxide contributes to the instant penetration of alcohol into the bloodstream and speeds up the process of intoxication. But the reviews of tasters about Golden Joker vodka are positive: it is easy to drink, there are no signs of withdrawal symptoms in the morning, the aroma is pleasant. Experts also note that the composition of the drink is identical to the Zolotoy Petushok vodka from the same manufacturer, the only difference is in “carbonation”. The design of the Joker and the Golden Cockerel also have a lot in common: the same triangular bottle and color scheme, the same “SINCE 1898” inscription on the top, and a male figure with a bear on the back label.

About the manufacturer
The brand belongs to the Kuznetsk distillery, which is part of Penzaspirtprom OJSC. The plant was built immediately after the war – in 1946. In the 80s, after the introduction of restrictions on the production of alcohol, the plant was redesigned – sweet carbonated drinks, kvass appeared in the assortment. And in 1992, the state enterprise was privatized and reconstruction began, which was completed by 1998. The plant launched 3 bottling lines, began to introduce new technologies for the production of alcohol and increased the annual production capacity to 1 thousand decaliters.
The second modernization of the enterprise was carried out in 2013 – the equipment was completely updated at the plant, half of the processes were automated, which improved the quality of products. Golden Joker, like other products of the Kuznetsk Distillery, is not exported – it is intended for the domestic market.
Tasting notes
Golden Joker is a transparent carbonated drink with a light cumin aroma and an unusually sharp and bright taste for vodka due to the presence of carbon dioxide. Before serving, “Joker” is recommended to be cooled to + 8-10 ° С. The drink goes well with meat and fish snacks, sets off the taste of seafood and emphasizes the aroma of vegetable dishes and meat cooked over an open fire.
