Youri Dolgoruki Vodka
Youri Dolgoruki Vodka is a Russian vodka, named after Duke Dolgoruki, the founder of Moscow. It is distilled at Moscow's oldest and most famous distillery Cristall. The leader of the industry, Cristall, is the largest distillery in the country.
Cristall Distilleries unveiled the premium Youri Dolgoruki vodka in a frosted-glass bottle that displays an image of the famous St. Basil's Cathedral through a clear window in the packaging. [Yuri Dolgorukiy Yuri Dolgorukiy] was the founder of Moscow in the 12th century and his likeness, along with the ancient St. Basil's located in the Red Square, creates a strong Russian association. The clear window provides a see-through effect to the church graphic on the back of the bottle. The impression of St. Basil's is silkscreen printed in six colors, with two gravure-printed pressure-sensitive labels on top of the window and on the closure completing the motif. This unique bottle design strives to reinforce the brand's image as an upscale, truly Russian product and also to differentiate this brand in the crowded vodka aisle.
Moscow-made Youri Dolgoruki vodka is the Belvédère Group's latest brand acquisition.
Distilled four times according to a very rigid secret recipe, the vodka is then blended with natural glacier water which has been pre-treated by a special patented process for the ultimate in purity. Filtration through native Russian birch charcoal completes the process. This unique care and attention to detail results in a vodka known to the world for its distinct character and smoothness on the palate. The composition of Youri Dolgoruki Vodka is based on the force of the perfect grain grown in the ancient Ryazan Region and advanced in the high-quality alcohol "Lux". Its purity is proven by the crystal potable water having passed through several degrees of cleaning. This new system of cleaning and filtration creates a beverage of perfection, providing a surprising transparency, gentle vodka aroma and a very high quality. Special food additives soften the taste and give depth to the thin vodka aroma.
Youri Dolgoruki vodka is already listed in Canadian duty-free shops and with Starboard Cruise Services ships sailing the Baltic in summer. Available in LCBO ( Ontario, Canada ) and some US private liquor stores.
