Aroma: Soft & nice floral-citrus aroma. Slight feeling of green apples. Taste: Soft & rich, with hints of spice. Aftertaste: Pleasant short finish with a taste of softspice, notes of rye bread & green apples (personally I also get a small hint of natural liquorice). Staritsky Levitsky Reserve Vodka is produced in Ukrainian Precarpathia
- a region known for the purity & richness of its nature & environment. The spring water used during the production process is enriched by quartz, which adds to the deliberate smoothness of the vodka. They only use spirit made from the best Ukrainian grains (predominantly a rye based cereal mash), which are harvested from the 'black earth', arguably the best agricultural soil in the world. The combination of the richness of this 'black earth', the purity of the Carpathian countryside & Ukrainian's century old vodka distillery traditions, results in an authentic & unique premium vodka experience.
