Polugar Wheat Vodka 750ml
Product Details
Delicate, slightly sweet, warming soft taste of rye and wheat bread, crackers and bread crust with bread-honey notes.
The small batch numbered series is carefully crafted using select Russian rye and wheat grains. Only natural raw products are distilled in copper pot stills manufactured from 18th and 19th century diagrams. The precious distillate undergoes further refining using natural birch charcoal.
Polugar is known as the legendary Russian bread wine, the noble father of vodka. Pre-single column still, Russia’s version of vodka was similar to whisky; the smell and flavor reminiscent of freshly baked bread and was known as bread wine. In 1895 Tsar Alexander III decreed to have all pot stills in Russia broken down. Distillation processes were restricted to government licensed and taxed column stills. Thus established the less nuanced spirit we know as vodka today.
The Rodionov family spearheaded a movement to restore the traditional grain spirits. Boris Rodionov, a renowned vodka historian, discovered the original recipe for the national bread wine spirit. With legislation forbidding the Polugar style of grain distillation in Russia, the Rodionov family restored an old distillery tucked away in a forest in Poland.
The Rodionov family meticulously reproduced copper pot stills from 18th century drawings. Each Polugar selection is produced in accordance with authentic recipes of Russian aristocracy in the 1700s. The bottle is designed after Queen Elizabeth’s personal snuff-bottle, circa 1745, that is on exhibit at the Russian National Museum.
