Astonishingly complex, mild taste of fresh rye bread, honey & meadow grass, with a slight rye bitterness. This single grain spirit is distilled three times in small batches in copper pot stills, followed by purification using egg whites & birch charcoal. It is presented in a reconstruction of Tsarina Elizabeth's personal bottle from 1745. Polugar is the historic vodka from the Russian Empire, enjoyed throughout Russia by the aristocracy & peasants alike as the national spirit until 1895 when, following a decree of Czar Alexander III, all the pot stills were broken up. All production was converted to what we know today as vodka, distilled in government licensed & taxed column stills. The art of Polugar distillation has returned, thanks to the research & passion of Boris Rodionov, a noted Russian vodka historian & scientist who has reproduced an 18th century recipe at the authentic strength of 38.5%. As the ban remains in place in Russia, it is now crafted in a micro-distillery in Pol&, within the 19th century borders of the Russian Empire. ...
