Debunking Common Myths About Vodka

Vodka, often referred to as preferred spirit due to its versatility and purity, has accumulated a variety of myths about its nature over the years. From having no distinctive taste to only being made from potatoes, vodka has definitely been the subject of discussion for years. Today, we will uncover some of the common myths and establish the truth about some of the most popular misconceptions. Join us as we lift the veil on some of the most persistent misconceptions surrounding vodka, revealing the fascinating truths behind the clear liquid in your glass.

Myth 1: All Vodkas Taste the Same

One common myth refers to vodka tasting the same, unlike wine, cognac or whiskey. However, this is not true as production process as well as ingredients have a tremendous influence on the taste of the final liquid. In particular, liquid for LEX by Nemiroff undergoes 3-Step Authorization of liquid, where each of these steps is controlled and approved by distillery masters with more than 20 years of experience.

_{Step 1:}

Ingredients Selection – only those ingredients that match in the organoleptics are selected. It is essential for all ingredients to work together in order to receive a smooth and delicate taste of final liquid.

_{Step 2:}

Liquid Preparation – not only Nemiroff uses the best possible equipment for preparation and bottling, but we also rely on the expertise of our distillery masters who thoroughly control liquid quality before bottling.

_{Step 3:}

After bottling a random bottle from each batch is selected for further tests and final checks on taste, aroma and presentation. Only after the approval of product by distillery masters, the order is shipped to the customer.

This 3-Step Authorisation emphasises the dedication that artisans involve in production of LEX by Nemiroff, who work together to ensure that each bottle is not just a product, but a fully sensorial experience.

Myth 2: Vodka is Only Made from Potatoes

Another common myth refers to vodka being made from only potatoes. While it is true to some extent as producers are experimenting with the base for their alcohol, using a variety of agricultural products such as potatoes, rye, corn and even grapes in some cases. Potatoes were commonly used as a base to produce spirits in countries with limited availability of wheat and rye. Given Ukraine’s agriculture richness, only the best grains go into base spirit for LEX by Nemiroff. A combination of water from deep wells, grain spirit alcohol as well as natural ingredients that are selected with extra care, results in a smooth and distinctive taste of LEX by Nemiroff vodka.

Myth 3: Vodka Doesn’t Have a Shelf Life

One of more dangerous misconceptions refers to vodka having no expiration date. This is wrong as like with any product storage it is essential to check the expiration date as well as ensure right storage conditions. The latter is particularly important when it comes to preservation of vodka’s taste, aromatics and quality. To ensure that LEX by Nemiroff maintains its aromatics and taste, here are some storage tips:

Keep it cool and dark: LEX by Nemiroff should be stored in a cool and dark place, away from direct sunlight. While it does work as a perfect bar cart companion, try to limit the exposure to heat and bright light
Keep it sealed: to prevent oxidation and evaporation, the bottle must be kept tightly sealed after each enjoyment
Avoid temperature changes: the key goal here is to store LEX by Nemiroff in a place where temperature stays the same
Store upright: LEX by Nemiroff bottle is made to be stored upright and admired every time you pass it

Advice! If you want to chill the vodka before serving, you should place it in the freezer for a short period. Avoid leaving it in the freezer for long period of time.
