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. Light minty nose with a touch of sweetness and medicinal spice; very clean. Silky and creamy with a distinctive character. Quite intense flavour, the mint lingers and is joined by a little anise and spice. Crisp and refined with some depth not normally associated with vodkas.
