-- TheFiftyBest.com Holds a Definitive Imported Vodka Tasting --
New York, NY, (March 27, 2012) – TheFiftyBest.com rating the finest in wines and spirits, has once again turned its sights towards Imported Vodka. TheFiftyBest.com recently hosted its premium unflavored, Imported Vodka Tasting, where 21 contenders competed for the distinguished “Best Vodka” awards.
THE TASTING: Anyone who still believes that vodka is an odorless, tasteless clear spirit, isn’t into vodkas. Vodka lovers can distinguish the complexity and subtlety of a good, premium vodka. Once again, this tasting dispelled some popular myths about vodka. We discovered that although the source of the vodka (potato, wheat, rye, corn, quinoa) does affect the final product somewhat, the notion of multiple distillation or multiple filtration is mostly hype.
The process of distillation is a continuous one, recirculating the solution until all the alcohol is vaporized out. Vodka is the easiest and cheapest spirit to produce (with high profit potential). There are no oak barrels or long aging process. Aging vodka doesn’t improve the flavor, and distillation is limited to only a day or so
