| 3 Vodka 80PF 750ml
Poland  |
Product Notes:
3 Vodka is the result of a remarkable journey: a quest for character, perfect, and natural balance missing from other vodkas. Unmistakably smooth, 3 has a character like no vodka ever created. 3 Vodka is distilled its own way, using a proprietary and time-intensive method, with two separate distilleries employed to protect the secrets of the vodka's complex origins. 3 Vodka marks the first time in history that soy has been distilled. Made from a delicate combination of soy isolates, the purest elements of the soy plant, 3 Vodka gains its signature smoothness from the natural soy itself.
Free of carbohydrates, sugars, fats, and gluten, 3 Vodka is the ultimate spirit. Awarded the first perfect vodka taste score of 100 points ever recorded, 3 Vodka is the world's best-reviewed vodka by spirit critics worldwide.

 About Estate:
Vodka is one of the world's most popular distilled beverages. It is a liquid containing water, ethanol purified by distillation from a fermented substance such as grain or molasses, and an insignificant amount of other substances: impurities and possibly flavorings. Except for various types of flavorings, vodka is a colorless liquid.
Vodka usually has an alcohol content of 35% to 50% by volume. The classic Russian and Polish vodka is 40% (USA 80 proof). This can be attributed to the Russian standards for vodka production introduced in 1894 by Alexander III from research undertaken by the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev. According to the Vodka Museum in Moscow, Mendeleev found the perfect percentage to be 38. However, since spirits in his time were taxed on their strength, the percentage was rounded up to 40 to simplify the tax computation. At strengths less than this, vodka drunk neat (not mixed with other liquids) can taste "watery": above this strength, the taste of vodka can have more "burn". Some governments set a minimum alcohol content for a spirit to be called "vodka". For example, the European Union sets a minimum of 37.5% alcohol by volume.[1]
Although vodka is traditionally drunk neat in Eastern European and Scandinavian countries of the "vodka belt", its popularity elsewhere owes much to its usefulness in cocktails and other mixed drinks, such as the Bloody Mary, the Screwdriver, the vodka tonic, and the vodka martini.

About Varietal:
Reviews & Accolades
"The formula for 3's thick, creamy flavor is so complex that it requires two distilleries and special shiping in FDA-approved containers. During this process, the soybean is broken down into chemical components, which are then isolated according to their compatibility with the distillation process. The result is a vodka possessing sufficient character to be sipped straight at room temperature. And, as might be expected, 3 is without peer as the foundation of the ultimate vodka martini."
--Richard Carleton Hacker, Spirit Critic
"3 is utterly clean, utterly smooth, and utterly neutral, but that doesn't mean it lacks character. A ghost of wintergreen emanates from the background, but this vodka's chief feature is an absolutely lovely dense, silky, chewy texture. This one is for ice-cold savoring, sip by sip, though it would also be ideal in Bloody Marys and other cocktails."
--Frederic Koeppel, Spirit Critic
"3 Vodka has an attractive, clean aroma with hints of citrus and a suggestion of chamomile. On the palate, it is exceptionally smooth and rounded, attributes derived from the use of soy. Surprisingly warm on the palate, this is an excellent vodka for use in straight-up martinis with just a whiff of vermouth."
--Neil Charles, Spirit Critic
"Undoubtedly the most imaginitive vodka released on this continent is 3 Vodka...(it) has no bite or discernable edge. It glides over the palate, generates a little heat, then quietly slips away...a spirit remarkable in taste and design."
--Robert Plotkin, Spirit Critic
"3 scores a perfect 10. Its smooth and rich taste make it the perfect vodka for martinis. This vodka is destined for greatness...The product's tagline, "Made Smooth with Soy," is clearly an understatement for what has instantly become the standard for drinkability and flavor complexity in the vodka category, regardless of the price. This product is flawless."
--Tom Buco, Spirit Critic
"...The result is a vodka that tastes smoother. That's thanks to an elaborate process that separates the soy isolates of a soy plant. 3 Vodka, distilled from soy, boasts a smoother taste than other vodkas."
--Diane Aden Hayes, Spirit Critic
"3 Vodka is the first product of its kind. Distilled from soy isolates, the result is a smooth, pure, completely unique product with the potential for bringing in new users and extending the category far beyond its traditional boundaries."
--Catherine Robinson, Spirit Critic
"First, you'll notice the sleek bottle design, then you'll notice the exceptional smoothness of what's inside. This vodka delivers on its promise of a clean, clear taste."
--Brian Michael Lawrence, Spirit Critic
"A sip, neat, produces a rolling lushness on the palate with a mellow afterglow. The secret to this truly discernable smoothness is soy. It's tempting to say it's a shame to mix it with anything."
--Linda Matys O'Connell, Spirit Critic
"3's a charmer. 3 Vodka is the ultimate designer product, from its sleek glass bottle inscribed with a stylized crimson 3, to the elaborately distilled beverage inside. A vodka of notable smoothnes...one that allows the strongest cosmopolitan to go down with deceptive ease."
--Elaine T. Cicora, Spirit Critic
