Product Information

Comforting cacao nibs enveloped in rich chocolate loaf and laced with malted spiced vanilla. Smooth and luxurious; a gorgeously unctuous textured sweet nectar. Highly accomplished. The glass is emptied in one draught, while holding one’s breath and something small is savored straight away. Before drinking, a toast is given. Well we’re happy to report that this is an incredibly accomplished vodka. We’ve rarely felt smoothness like it on the palate. The cedar nuts give it a slight nutty aroma on the nose. Once you get round to sipping this vodka, it feels like velvet on the tongue.

Distilled at the foot of the Altai Mountains by a team of skilled craftsmen, Mamont Vodka is produced using only traditional methods and natural ingredients local to Siberia. Founded in 1868, Itkul Distillery is Siberia’s oldest, and the only distillery in the whole of Russia to produce alcohol from pure malt. In Mamont’s production, the finest Siberian white winter wheat is first selected and carefully fermented then blended with water from the Altai Mountain springs, renowned throughout Russia for its purity. This blend is then distilled six times before a small proportion of cedar nut spirit is added to the liquid, which is then triple filtered through Siberian silver birch charcoal. The result is a refined, crystal-clear vodka. Mamont Vodka is a six-time distilled Russian vodka made at the Itkul distillery in the Altai region of Siberia from locally grown, malted, white winter wheat.
