In Kazakhstan, vodka is traditionally drunk neat, and with food. This means that it is judged on the quality of the spirit. As the largest supplier of vodka in Kazakhstan, Kazakh Vodka’s aim is to create the finest non-flavoured vodka in the world. No lemon or vanilla flavouring is added, allowing the true flavour of the spirit to shine.
According to the makers of Snow Queen, creating the perfect vodka ‘owes as much to the calibre of the equipment used as it does to the character of the ingredients’ selected. Which is why the three Kazakh Vodka distilleries (including the bottling lines) in Kazakhstan are state of the art. Snow Queen is made from 100% natural products; at no point is any synthetic ingredient added. Attention to detail stretches from the particular strain of organic wheat selected, through the refining and filtering processes carried out to soften and purify the water, to the repeated testing of the spirit during distillation to check for toxic elements.
The evocative packaging is as eye-catching and memorable as the spirit in the bottle. It is not surprising that this award-winning premium vodka has a strong - and growing - following in bars and restaurants in the UK.
Since its release in 2005 Snow Queen has been awarded nine Gold, seven Silver and eight Bronze Medals.
Gaining 83 points out of a possible 100, Snow Queen was awarded pole position at a vodka tasting organised by Imbibe Magazine (March/April 2007). It was ‘unanimously praised for a full, well-controlled palate offering a good balance of texture and softness, and a gentle sweetness.’
Giles Kime of the Sunday Telegraph recently wrote 'From Kazakhstan comes a new addition to the growing ranks of chi chi vodkas. It is clean and incisive, with smooth, rounded flavours too good to waste on cocktails.' |
