ÍS™ VODKA
– PRODUCT INFORMATION
ÍS™ VODKA, pronounced “ice,”
is an exceptional new entry to the super-premium vodka category,
uniquely designed to address the international consumer?s growing
taste for luxury and demanding palate. Imported to the United
States by Viking Glacier Spirits (US) Inc., this ultra-premium
blend of naturally pure Icelandic water and non-genetically engineered
wheat is distilled seven times to ensure an unparalleled taste
experience. As consumers of luxury products become ever more health
conscious, VGS is proud to introduce this truly pure spirit to
the United States marketplace.
ÍS VODKA is ultra smooth, yet conceals a
tantalizing hint of fire to allure even the most refined taste.
It exemplifies the ultimate combination of exceptional ingredients
presented in an exquisitely designed decanter. ÍS VODKA
is destined to become a product known for its consumer appeal.
For those seeking an unprecedented culinary complement or simply
an adventurous „mixology? experience, ÍS VODKA is
pure luxury.
Icy cool, clean, pure Icelandic water is the main
ingredient of ÍS VODKA (60% by volume). This pristine natural
ingredient originates from a part of Eastern Iceland known as
“Beautiful Valley” situated within the Vatnajokull
glacier region, home to one of the largest glaciers on earth.
During the ÍS VODKA manufacturing process, pure water is
drawn from a rare geological formation known as an “esker.”
Extraction is managed in an ecologically responsible manner by
members of the local Icelandic community.
An esker is composed of layers of clay, sand and
gravel, naturally accumulated by rivers of melting ice during
the Ice Age. Sealed beneath the glacial terrain some 20,000 years
ago, the esker acts as a natural filtration system for the icy
pure water before it is introduced to the ÍS VODKA manufacturing
process—today. Most super-premium vodkas are blended using
municipal water or that of similar quality. In stark contrast,
ÍS VODKA is made exclusively from Icelandic water—frozen
when the world was pure.
ÍS VODKA is made of the finest non-genetically
modified European wheat and distilled seven times for ultimate
purity, unrivalled quality and consistently exceptional taste.
Master Distiller Peter McKay of the United Kingdom, a graduate
of the Wine & Spirit Education Trust and a judge for the International
Wine & Spirit Challenge, developed a special distillation
formula for ÍS VODKA using pure Icelandic water, European
wheat and a third (secret) ingredient. The result is an ultra-smooth
spirit with a tantalizing hint of fire… ÍS VODKA.
Gracefully tall and sleekly elegant in shape, the
ÍS VODKA decanter is as evocative as the spirit inside.
Stylized icicles adorn the sides of the bottle, a reminder of
the icy origin of its contents. A handsomely finished nickel-plated
cap provides a dazzling crown to complete the cork closure. A
medallion molded in the image of a mythical Icelandic angel is
the focal point—the „living logo? of the ÍS
VODKA brand. The angel hoists a sphere embossed with a “7”,
the number of times ÍS VODKA is distilled. The brand name
is enameled in pure silver foil, a metaphoric reflection of flickering
Arctic sunlight from an Icelandic glacial summit.
Though comparable in quality and taste to internationally
acclaimed vodkas in the ultra-premium price category ($75+), ÍS
VODKA, at a suggested retail price of $39.95, is a standout among
its price-peers. This strategic price point assures brand accessibility
and enjoyment for all consumers. |
