Here at Elysium Towers we\u2019re fond of vodka \u2013 the simplicity and versatility of the spirit is arguably unrivalled by other tipples. So we thought it was high time that we introduced a product that hails from the traditional vodka belt countries of Eastern Europe and around the Baltic Sea. It\u2019s time to go back to the motherland comrade because this week\u2019s recommendation for the discerning gent\u2019s drinks cabinet is Russian Standard Gold Vodka.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Vodka is traditionally drunk neat throughout the vodka belt nations. With no additional mixers or flavours to fool your tastebuds the tipple itself should worthy of teasing the palate without burning off layers of your mouth and throat when taken in its simplest form. Russian Standard Gold certainly steps up to the mark here with its smooth texture on the tongue. Why? Because it\u2019s made from the glacial waters of Russia\u2019s purest source, and the one of the world\u2019s softest water sources -Lake Ladoga. The wheat is grown in the black soil of the Russian Southern Steppes \u2013 a region rich in nutrients aiding the growth of damn fine wheat.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Distilled four times to produce what the Russian\u2019s call \u2018Luxe grade\u2019 vodka \u2013 it\u2019s worthy for the drinks cabinet acclaim. Russian Standard Gold offers a depth of flavour to enjoy with notes of Siberian ginseng (golden root), cinnamon, almond and vanilla to combine with the soft finish. Best enjoyed neat, as they do in the vodka belt, on the rocks, or in the multitude of vodka-based cocktails starring in menus across the nation right now.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Another reason Russian Standard Gold is befitting of the discerning gent\u2019s drinks cabinet is due to its presentation. Nestled inside a striking golden box, the drink looks like it\u2019s been smuggled out of the \u2018very important\u2019 room in the Kremlin. A definite crowd pleaser should the box be parted open, revealing its golden treasure during a night of entertaining at home, or celebration in the office.<\/p>\n
