Czar's Gold, like its historic predecessor, is made with Zhivaya
voda, or 'living water', renowned to have healing powers, and a key
ingredient in Peter's preferred recipe. The source of the living
water was Lake Ladoga located 50 miles east of St. Petersburg. It
was formed at the end of the last ice age when the ice melted and
water flooded the wooded area where the lake is located. For
millions of years since then, the waters of Lake Ladoga have been
naturally purified by layers of wood and charcoal resulting from the
millions of trees resting at the bottom.
Today, as in the time of Peter the Great, the makers of Czar's Gold
use only the water from the Ladoga in their formulating, but apply
modern technology to further improve its characteristics. The water
is filtered through quartz sand, birch tree charcoal and then
further purified with ultra-violet light.
Only the finest grain from Central Russia is selected to produce the
quality spirit used in Czar's Gold.
To finish, the taste is fine-tuned by a final filtration of the
vodka through membranes of pure golden thread. During this process
Czar's Gold is enriched with ions of gold which results in a unique
smoothness.
Czar's Gold Vodka was launched anew in Russia in May of 2003 to
commemorate the 300th anniversary of the founding of St. Petersburg
by Peter the Great.
Now, for the first time, Czar's Gold is available in the United
States.
