The sweep of Russian history is in every IKON Vodka bottle. Its rich
affluent taste has lasted from the nineteenth century to the twenty first.
It has toasted the Czar, saluted the commissar and christened democracy.
So what makes IKON True Russian Vodka so great?
IKON Vodka is produced 1,500 kilometers from Moscow. IKON Vodka uses
quality grain, pure artesian water and is distilled four times and
quadruple filtered through Russian birch wood.
“Super smooth...”
IKON Vodka was created by Vassil Vassilivitch Alexandrov, a merchant of
the First Guild. He was awarded an imperial license to produce superior
vodka, for the Russian nobility. IKON Vodka's reputation spread across the
Russian Empire and Europe.
IKON Vodka's quality and popularity did not diminish during Russia's
communist period. It became the Vodka of choice for the worker, the artist
and the intelligesia.
Today, IKON Vodka is enjoyed in many parts of the world. The secret to
IKON Vodka's enduring popularity is its marriage of tradition with modern
distillery techniques.
Check out these great reviews!
“Clear, subtle minerally nose. Medium body. Smooth, yet broad on the
palate with an aggressive profile of mildly sweet grain flavors and
powerful alcoholic acidity. Finishes with an aserbic, cleansing wash of
citrusy vapors that linger in the mouth. A hearty warming style of vodka.”
88/100 - Critics’ review 2001 (tastings.com)
“Everybody is familiar with Absolut, Ketel, and the other big names of the
Vodka world. Here we take a look at some lesser known brands. But don't
conflate their relatively (and perhaps monetary) obscurity with lack of
quality. One needs only say "the King of Beers" to show that big sales
and high quality don't necessarily coincide.
IKON Vodka (80 proof) is made in Russia and has won a number of medals for
excellence in the past few years. Nose IKON and you'll be hard pressed to
detect a scent. A hint of toffee, perhaps? All too often vodka has a
stiff alcohol ester- not so with IKON. In that sense, it out Ketel's
Ketel One. In the mouth IKON is very mild, with just a hint of mineral
and toffee taste. Super smooth.”
IKON Vodka from Russia by F. Sot Fitzgerald (alcoholreviews.com)
“This is really super clean stuff. Medium weight with good vanilla/cream
feel, it has a spicy needly finish with a fresh touch of citrus. Ikon
vodka is above average stuff that would be good neat or in delicate
cocktails, where the vodka flavor is important.”
