WHAT
IS CIRRUS?
Cirrus
is a vodka like no other.
Unlike most vodkas,
which are mass produced, Cirrus is hand-crafted in small
batches. Made in a traditional pot-still, Cirrus is an artisan
vodka made only from the highest quality potatoes.
So what. Aren't all vodkas made from potatoes?
No. Despite the common misconception that all vodkas are made from potatoes, the vast majority of vodkas are made from grains - usually wheat, rye, corn or a combination of the three.
So, why use potatoes?
Because potatoes make the best and
smoothest vodka.
Potato vodkas are more expensive and much more difficult to produce than grain vodkas - but we
think it's worth the time and effort.
Tell me more...
Our natural, additive free potato vodka
is made with a pure and natural deep aquifer spring water
- yielding an incredibly smooth, flavorful vodka that is
a truly enjoyable drink.
In the United States, most vodkas are made in industrial alcohol factories from cheap grains. The alcohol produced is then sold for industrial ethanol purposes (like making fuel). This same product is sold to the alcoholic beverage industry who generally filter, dilutethe alcohol, then bottle it and sell it as vodka.
Cirrus vodka, on the other hand, is distilled and bottled on site at our distillery - where we can maintain
the highest level of product quality standards. From the
potatoes that we start with to the super-premium quality
vodka spirit that we bottle at the finish. Our ultimate mission,
goal and promise to you is a quality, first class and enjoyable
spirit.
But I thought vodka was
supposed to be odorless and flavorless...
Not true. Although the technical definition
of vodka - for labeling purposes - is a neutral grain spirit that is colorless, odorless
and tasteless, ask any vodka aficionado who will tell you
that when talking about quality vodka, that is simply
not the case.
Cirrus tastes creamy with a hint of
vanilla and a light, smooth sweetness. Whether you enjoy
Cirrus neat, chilled, in a martini or mixed,
once you try it, you'll never look at vodka the same
way again. Try Cirrus and you'll see what we mean.
Cirrus is the cirrious vodka
connoisseur's vodka. |
