The production of Gorbachev Vodka: tradition meets modern filtration
The production of Gorbatschow Vodka begins with the careful selection of first-class wheat and pure, clear water. These two main ingredients are blended with the utmost precision to create the basis for the incomparable taste and purity of the end product.
An essential part of the production process is filtering, which makes the vodka more drinkable by removing impurities from the distillate. In the past, Gorbachev Vodka was double-filtered, but today it undergoes a modern and sophisticated quadruple filtration process. During this process, the vodka is cooled down to -12 °C. This combination of quadruple filtration and cold filtration is a unique selling point of Gorbatschow Vodka.
The fourfold filtration enhances the mild taste of Gorbatschow, while the low temperature enables even more precise filtering of undesirable substances. Although this modern process is based on the ancient recipe, it has been significantly optimized for a better taste. During the filtration process, only the purest fractions of the distillate are selected to ensure that every bottle of Gorbachev Vodka meets the highest standards.
Making of: Gorbachev at the limit of what is possible
First, the vodka is cooled in the heat exchanger (1st filtration). After this first filtration, it is heated and then cooled down to -12 °C (2nd filtration). Under the icy sub-zero temperatures, the unwanted compounds can be filtered out of the vodka most effectively in order to achieve a pleasant, mild taste. Lower temperatures are not possible in this process, so it is fair to say that the makers of Gorbachev Vodka are right: The makers of Gorbachev vodka go to the limit for the enjoyment of connoisseurs!
It takes patience and precision
In the further course of the filtration process, extremely effective activated carbon filters are used (3rd filtration). Just one gram of activated carbon in the filtration process has an effect equivalent to the size of a soccer pitch. Gorbachev's creators put the icing on the cake by extending the filtration process using activated carbon filters: In this step of the filtration process, under freezing temperatures and over a particularly long duration, the effect of the activated carbon filters unfolds best. After reheating in the heat exchanger, a further filtration through fine filters follows, which gives the vodka its "pure soul" according to the manufacturer (4th filtration). Using the latest filter technologies, particularly low temperatures and a memorably complex filtering process, the result is Gorbachev the way vodka connoisseurs love it: velvety smooth, mild and crystal clear.
