Review: Purity Vodka
Purity Vodka was introduced in the US in 2009. It is crafted by Master Distiller Thomas Kuuttanen at The Ellinge Castle Estate in Southern Sweden. His labor of love stated in 1998, and he spent 10 years perfecting Purity vodka. It is made with organic winter wheat and malted barley. The small batch distillation process begins in a hand made copper and gold pot still that is followed by 34 distillations in an 8-plate double column still. During the distillation 90% of the vodka is lost with only the heart of the heart remaining. This extremely slow distillation maintains the integrity of the grain while producing a spirit so pure, no filtration is needed. The 192 proof vodka is then blended with a mix of deionized water, mineral rich well water, and an organic column distilled wheat spirit, before bottling at 80 proof. Read more

Review: 42 Below Passion Vodka
42 Below Passion Vodka is made in New Zealand with non GMO red winter wheat grown in Australia and New Zealand and pure spring water sourced from deep springs. The inspiration for 42 Below vodka came when Geoff Ross while reading a magazine saw a vodka ad claiming it came from a pure country. He thought his native New Zealand was 100 times more pure. The name comes from the fact that the vodka is produced 42 degrees below the equator. 42 Below Passion is distilled three times and then washed with pure spring water to reduce the proof and remove the impurities. It is then distilled again before it is filtered through 35 different filters. Natural passion fruit is then infused before bottling. Read more
