Very often strong spirits are chosen for fun gatherings with friends or for family celebrations. The most popular strong drink in Russia, of course, is vodka. But which, among the variety on the market, is safe, quality and “tasty”? On high lines in the ranking of experts is Russian Ice Vodka. Let’s try to figure out how it attracted the experts and gourmets, where it is produced and how it differs from its own kind.
Manufacturer
Russian Ice Vodka is produced by one of the leading distilleries in Russia . Since 1900, the open joint-stock company Mariinsky Distillery has been supplying quality alcoholic beverages made from good, proven raw materials to the shelves of our country. Since 2006, this joint-stock company has been part of Synergy OJSC.
On an area of more than 4.5 hectares, industrial premises are located, the area of which exceeds 18 thousand square meters. The products that Synergy OJSC produces, including Russian Ice vodka, are produced on high-quality equipment (Czech Republic, Italy). The factory mainly specializes in the production of vodka. In addition to hard drinks, low alcohol, soft drinks, and liquors are produced.
Thanks to an established and thorough quality control system, all products of the open joint-stock company Mariinsky Distillery are of high quality and safety. No exception and vodka "Russian ice". Reviews say that the drink is excellent, “softly” drunk, after drinking it does not appear a feeling of nausea and headaches do not begin.
Technology. Ingredients
As noted above, modern technologies, centuries-old traditions and high-quality imported equipment are used for production. How is Russian Ice vodka made? The manufacturer uses a special cleaning system, as well as several levels of filtration, which has a positive effect on the quality and taste of the drink. The production uses oat infusion, luxury alcohol, sugar syrup.
One of the most important ingredients is Yantalak GF. This module is a mixture of active substances and carbohydrates. Not all strong drinks contain this module. And his role is quite significant. Thanks to him, Russian Ice vodka has a less harmful effect on the liver. The module helps to quickly remove toxins that enter the body with alcohol, and reduces the load on the digestive tract.
Counterfeit protection
As you know, many alcoholic drinks are successfully forged by attackers, which negatively and sometimes fatally affects health. The exception is Russian Ice Vodka. The reviews confirm that not every bottle of vodka today has a special cap and a special neck. Let’s figure out what the difference is.
Firstly, Russian Ice Vodka has a rather unusual plastic cork that adorns the bottle. Secondly, the neck of the bottle, where a special dispenser is located, is a tricky device. Not only does the dispenser allow the drink to be dispensed in a metered, but not chaotic manner, it prevents the container from re-filling. This dispenser is called the guala cylinder. Using this cap, the company secured its products from low-quality counterfeiting. How to open Russian ice vodka? There is nothing easier. First, the plastic cap is removed - the lid, then the cylinder on the neck scrolls, dosing the volume of the liquid being poured.
Bottle
Differs in originality and appearance of the bottle. A pleasant blue glass is used for containers. Thanks to this, the illusion is created that the vodka is, as it were, chained in an ice vise. The ice theme is continued by the illustration depicted on the bottle. At first glance, it seems that the drawing contains only a chaotic set of outlines of people, spears, horses. In fact, the bottle shows the greatest event in history - the Battle of the Ice. In confirmation of this, the bottle indicates the date - 1242 - the time when Alexander Nevsky defeated the Livonian Order on Lake Peipsi.
Taste and color
This drink is characterized by crystal color and a high degree of transparency. The sugar syrup in the composition gives a light sweetish tint, and the infusion of oats gives a certain flavor in the taste that distinguishes Russian Ice vodka from other analogues.
The drink can be consumed both in pure form, under a salted cucumber or kebab, and used as the main ingredient for cocktails. For snacks, it is better to use fatty and hearty dishes (meat, fish, pickles, marinades, sandwiches or pancakes with caviar).
Before use, it is not necessary to add ice to vodka, as is done in many cafes and bars. If you buy a drink for home use, you just need to hold it for some time in the refrigerator. Russian Ice is quickly cooled and easy to drink.
