BELUGA TRANSATLANTIC

Description

Beluga Transatlantic Racing special edition vodka is inspired by the success of the Russian sailing team that flies BELUGA sails in yachting competitions in the Atlantic and Mediterranean. Beluga Transatlantic Racing Vodka is produced from malted spirit and a mixture of softened water and that pure Getreidemalz Siberian spring water. Even though the artesian spring water is naturally pure, it must undergo a double filtration, through quartz sand and a special silver filter. After the malted spirit and a mixture of softened and filtered artesian water are mixed, the water-spirit mixture is purified once more as it is filtered twice through a 10.5 meter birch charcoal column filter and once more through a special cotton filter to complete the purification process. At this point, Beluga introduces small amounts of special ingredients into their vodka. In the case of the Beluga Transatlantic these special ingredients are, sugar syrup, malted barley extract,and wild strawberry extract. The addition of small quantities of special ingredients is consistent with what I know of traditional European production methods where each distilled vodka has its own recipe and its own special ingredients. It is these special ingredients used in very small proportions which contribute to the individual character of each Vodka. After these ingredients are added, but prior bottling, the Transatlantic Vodka is rested 45 days. This rest period apparently allows the molecular components within the finished vodka to stabilize allowing for a smoother more velvet-like mouth-feel and taste.
