Quick Facts: ABV: 40%  |  Origin: Nemyriv, Podillia Region, Ukraine  |  Style: Wheat Vodka  |  Distillery: Nemiroff (est. 1872)

Production & Heritage

The Nemiroff distillery was established in 1872 in the town of Nemyriv in Ukraine's Podillia region, making it one of the country's oldest continuously operating spirits producers. De Luxe begins with Ukrainian wheat that is triple-distilled and blended with water drawn from the brand's own artesian wells. What truly distinguishes this vodka is its 11-stage complex filtration regimen — a sequence that moves the spirit through mechanical processing with quartz sand, activated carbon filters, membrane purification, and finally silver and platinum filtration stages designed to strip impurities while preserving the grain's natural character.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Crystal-clear in the glass, the nose opens with delicate linden flower and lime blossom before shifting into subtle grain and a faint trace of vanilla. A light forest-like freshness sits underneath, keeping the aromatics clean and inviting.

Taste: The entry is remarkably soft, almost velvety, spreading across the palate without any harsh ethanol bite. Mid-palate, coriander seed and a whisper of paprika spice emerge alongside a creamy sweetness. Toward the peak, gentle pepper notes and a hint of oak-like warmth give the spirit unexpected depth for a vodka at this level.

Finish: Medium in length with a light peppery close and a clean, slightly grainy fade. The texture remains smooth throughout, leaving no burn — just a quiet warmth that dissipates cleanly.

How to Drink Nemiroff De Luxe

Chilled and served neat in a small stemmed glass is the traditional Ukrainian approach and arguably the best way to appreciate the velvety texture and floral subtleties. The 1.75L format also makes this a practical choice for cocktail service. A Moscow Mule benefits from the vodka's inherent peppery character, which dovetails naturally with ginger beer. In a Vodka Martini, the clean profile and creamy mouthfeel carry vermouth without competing. A Paloma-style highball with grapefruit soda and a pinch of salt highlights the lime blossom notes and soft grain sweetness.

• Hosting a gathering where cocktail volume matters and quality cannot slip
