What is the French vodka "Eristoff"?

Vodka "Eristoff" is a strong alcoholic drink, which very recently was absolutely unfamiliar to the Russian buyer. Appearing on the shelves of domestic stores, he immediately attracted a lot of attention. What caused this interest and why did the unknown product cause such a stir around itself? This should be discussed in more detail.

A bit of history

When in 1917 the Georgian prince Alexander Konstantinovich Aristov emigrated from his native country, embraced by the revolution, to France, he did not even suspect that after a while his surname would become known to the whole world. The ancestor of the Grand Duke owned a vodka recipe, which was developed in St. Petersburg in 1806. Later, in 1956, this son of Alexander Konstantinovich Nicholas gave this information to French winemakers. Thus, at the end of the last century, a new vodka "Eristoff" appeared in Europe.

Thanks to the efforts of the best specialists, this product along with the native Russian roots acquired a real French quality. For its production, only the best food raw materials are used:

• Clean water from an artesian well;
• Select grain, which in the process of triple distillation turns into an excellent rectified ethyl alcohol of the luxury class.

Very soon the vodka "Eristoff" was recognized as a super-premium drink. It began to be exported to many countries in Asia, Europe, and South and North America. And only recently the drink returned to Russia, only in a different way.

Product Description

In the production halls, the vodka "Eristoff" is bottled in glass bottles with a capacity of 0.5, 0.7 and 1.0 liters. They are made to order and have a distinct individuality. In the upper part of each bottle on the front side there is a relief image of the prince's crown. And below there is a small thickening on which in the same style in a circle the inscription "Original recipe from 1806" is made. In addition, an unusual container is decorated with a stylish label with text made in white and silver tones. Its color, depending on the particular type of product, can be blue, red, black or mixed (blue with green). In addition, the containers are equipped with a logo representing the image of a wolf's head that howls to the moon. According to the legend of the manufacturer, this figure is associated with the coat of arms of the immediate creator of the drink. But experts in heraldry do not agree with this statement. After all, only the lion is featured on the family coat of arms of the Eristovs. So the wolf profile, most likely, was taken from the insignia of other Georgian princes. But this inaccuracy does not in any way affect the quality of the product itself.

Manufacturer Company

Initially, Prince Nicholas gave the secret of the drink to his friend Count Rossi. Holding Martini & Rossi at that time was mainly engaged in the production of sparkling wines and vermouths. The company was constantly reorganized, which led to a change in the name and scope of activities. Finally, in 1993, it merged with the Bacardi Group. A large company immediately bought from its partner a new brand, which nobody knows. So, soon the vodka "Eristoff" appeared. The manufacturer spent a lot of effort and money on her advertising. This gave its results.

Interest in the new product has increased every year. Very soon it began to be exported abroad, where the products were in great demand. So, the recipe of an ancient princely family from Georgia began its victorious campaign around the world. The drink quickly found its admirers. This is largely contributed to its excellent organoleptic properties. Transparent as a tear with an excellent vodka smell, it deserved a positive evaluation not only of ordinary buyers, but also of experienced specialists.

Composition of the product

What is so good about "Eristoff" vodka? The composition of the drink partly answers this question. First, for its production is used not one kind of grain, but a mixture of wheat and rye. This is one of the important features of the product. In addition, a small portion of germinated wheat grains is also added. Together they create the ideal raw material for the production of alcohol. For maximum purification of this component, the product is subjected to three-stage distillation. The resulting alcohol is an excellent basis for the future product. Secondly, water deserves special attention. It is taken from a spring that is located near a mineral spring. Together, both ingredients after processing allow you to get a drink that has a harmonious and balanced classical taste.

It is very easy to drink, leaving a slightly noticeable aftertaste and a pleasant sensation of warmth. Such vodka is wonderfully combined with various drinks, which makes it possible to use it for making cocktails. All this has enabled Eristoff to eventually become one of the most popular and sold brands in the world.
