🥃 Khortytsa De Luxe
Khortytsa vodka with aromatic spirits of cinnamon and cherry twigs, distilled in pot stills; the main taste stays vodka-like; 40% ABV.
Khortytsa De Luxe is a vodka from the Khortytsa brand, which the producer places at the top of its line. An American distributor described it in 2017 as a super premium vodka. Its strength is 40% ABV, and the bottle holds 0.75 l. According to the official site, the bottle design was created by the London agency Claessens.
The base is artesian water and Wheat Tear spirit. The difference lies in the aromatic spirits: cinnamon and cherry twigs are infused in spirit and then distilled in pot stills. Technologists blend them in fixed proportions so that the soft vodka taste remains the main one, with cinnamon and cherry only as a hint. According to the retailer Caskers, the aroma is clean with light sweetness, and the finish is soft, with a note of wheat.
Why it matters to you. De Luxe suits those who want a light spiced vodka; Khortytsa Platinum has an oat infusion, and Khortytsa Premium has the classic taste without aromatic spirits. Versions vary between markets, so check the label. The WHO reminds us that there is no safe level of alcohol consumption.
