Kauffman Luxury Vintage Vodka 40% 100cl (Wheat Base)

Wine information: Dr Mark Kaufman owns the Kauffman Private Collection Russian Vodkas, and it was because of his passion that the products exist today. Inspired by his experiences within the fine food and wine markets and by his own Russian heritage, Dr Kaufman worked for five years to produce a vodka that could be elevated to the same aspirational levels as the finest Cognacs, whiskies and wines. The first vintage of Kauffman Private Collection Vintage Vodka was produced in 2002, and was followed by the 2003 vintage. Each adhered to strict guidelines to ensure their success. Best wheat : From a single harvest of a single field within 1 of Russia’s 7 top wheat-producing areas. Distiller controlled : All steps of distillation closely monitored by the master distiller. Single bottling : Only 1 bottling per vintage. Limited production : 2,700 cases of Luxury & 5,000 cases of Selected. The bottles are of a unique design and are made at the Saint Gobaine facility in France, the bottles themselves are made to the equivalent quality of perfume glass. Kauffman Luxury Vintage vodka is distilled at the Crystall Distillery in Kaluga. Only 2,700 cases are produced of each vintage. Following fermentation, the grain mash is distilled into a raw spirit and then subjected to a four-way rectification process which involves fourteen distillations to achieve the required level of purity. After distillation the spirit is reduced with filtered water drawn from the purest local natural water source and the new vodka is filtered in a three-step process. First is through quartz sand, then through columns filled with silver birch charcoal and finally through quartz sand again. This lengthy process helps ensure the purity and clarity of the vodka. It shows subtle hints of toasted rye, fennel and menthol on the nose. On the palate the mouth feel is soft and subtle with more touches of mint initially but leading onto a crispness and welldefined finish that carries through with a little anise and spice.
