Types of vodka “Tundra”
- TUNDRA AUTHENTIC (40%). The base drink is based on rectified alcohol of the Alpha class and an infusion of deer horns. The aroma is light and fresh, the taste is soft, with a hint of wheat grain. The excellent qualities of the drink were awarded at international exhibitions and festivals: a bronze medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC) in 2013, silver at the London Wine Fair in 2015, and gold at ProdExpo 2016 in Moscow. Russian restaurateurs recommend Tundra Authentic with hot meat dishes, fish soup and aspic, spicy appetizers, pickles and Siberian dumplings.
- TUNDRA NORDIC NATURE (40%). Moss moss infusion was added to the signature recipe of the base drink, which determined the light floral aroma of Tundra Nordic Natur vodka. The taste of the drink is soft, pleasant, with a subtle sweetish aftertaste. Served with dishes of Russian, Tatar and European cuisine, it goes well with lamb and game, with salted mushrooms and spicy sauces.
- TUNDRA “Northern lingonberry” (40%). Flavored vodka differs from the base vodka in the alcohol infusion of lingonberries in the composition. Lingonberries added delicate berry notes to the aroma and gave a slight sourness to the traditionally mild taste. Bartenders recommend this vodka even as an aperitif – with lemon, cheese, olives as a light snack.
- TUNDRA “Northern cloudberry” (40%). The original drink, which, in addition to traditional ingredients, includes an alcoholic infusion of the northern berry – cloudberry. Therefore, vodka smells like cloudberries, and berry notes are quite clearly audible in a mild taste. The drink is served well chilled with game, meat, smoked meats and pickles.
