Veda is a premium class drink made at one of the enterprises of the Russian alcohol giant BELUGA GROUP (previously, until 2017, the Synergy group of companies). The production uses traditional technologies and a unique method of purification – “ice filtration”: distillates are cooled to -5 ° C before bottling, which harmonizes the aroma and makes the taste of the future drink balanced. The water, which is diluted with alcohols, is filtered with silver-plated activated carbon in three stages, and then frozen. Thus, in the drink, “Lux” alcohol, which has been hardened by frost, and softened melt water are combined. The cleansing process takes 3 days.
The excellent quality of Veda is confirmed by the gold medals of the annual ProdExpo competition from 2005 to 2008.
