It’s the time of year when a more flavorful kind of wheat is produced which is responsible for giving our premium vodka the purest quality. This is primarily what sets it apart from other vodka as other producers are known to harvest wheat during the normal season which is usually in October or distill the vodka from rice and other different types of inferior grains. But 8848 Vodka relies only on wheat that is harvested after winter. Known as winter wheat this wheat survives the cold which has locked within it the most flavors in comparison to those produced at other times of the year.</p> <p>Especially the wheat that is harvested after winter has been found to give vodka a superior taste. But 8848 goes further than that to enhance that clean, pure vodka taste; relying on a more traditional method to create its signature drink as 8848 Vodka uses copper in the distilling process. A copper distillation column is being used as it’s believed to be the metal that best purifies during distillation. The vodka produced is further blended with spring water from the Himalayas to give 8848 that unmatched purity and taste. The vodka has no additives and artificial flavors added and the product is sugar free as well as glycerin free. To assure best taste and quality 8848 is distilled five times to devoid any impurities. The 8848 Vodka is in a class of it’s own.</p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2016-02-01', 'modified' => '2016-02-07', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '2938', 'image' => '20160201050500_8848_vodka.jpg', 'article_date' => '2016-02-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '1' ) ) ) $current_user = null $logged_in = false $article = array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '3101', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Three police involved in black-marketing held', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'February 3: Police arrested three persons for allegedly involved in the black marketing of diesel in Tanahun.

It’s the time of year when a more flavorful kind of wheat is produced which is responsible for giving our premium vodka the purest quality. This is primarily what sets it apart from other vodka as other producers are known to harvest wheat during the normal season which is usually in October or distill the vodka from rice and other different types of inferior grains. But 8848 Vodka relies only on wheat that is harvested after winter. Known as winter wheat this wheat survives the cold which has locked within it the most flavors in comparison to those produced at other times of the year.</p> <p>Especially the wheat that is harvested after winter has been found to give vodka a superior taste. But 8848 goes further than that to enhance that clean, pure vodka taste; relying on a more traditional method to create its signature drink as 8848 Vodka uses copper in the distilling process. A copper distillation column is being used as it’s believed to be the metal that best purifies during distillation. The vodka produced is further blended with spring water from the Himalayas to give 8848 that unmatched purity and taste. The vodka has no additives and artificial flavors added and the product is sugar free as well as glycerin free. To assure best taste and quality 8848 is distilled five times to devoid any impurities.

It’s the time of year when a more flavorful kind of wheat is produced which is responsible for giving our premium vodka the purest quality.

But 8848 goes further than that to enhance that clean, pure vodka taste; relying on a more traditional method to create its signature drink as 8848 Vodka uses copper in the distilling process. A copper distillation column is being used as it’s believed to be the metal that best purifies during distillation. The vodka produced is further blended with spring water from the Himalayas to give 8848 that unmatched purity and taste. The vodka has no additives and artificial flavors added and the product is sugar free as well as glycerin free. To assure best taste and quality 8848 is distilled five times to devoid any impurities.

A copper distillation column is being used as it’s believed to be the metal that best purifies during distillation. The vodka produced is further blended with spring water from the Himalayas to give 8848 that unmatched purity and taste. The vodka has no additives and artificial flavors added and the product is sugar free as well as glycerin free. To assure best taste and quality 8848 is distilled five times to devoid any impurities.

A copper distillation column is being used as it’s believed to be the metal that best purifies during distillation. The vodka produced is further blended with spring water from the Himalayas to give 8848 that unmatched purity and taste. The vodka has no additives and artificial flavors added and the product is sugar free as well as glycerin free. To assure best taste and quality 8848 is distilled five times to devoid any impurities.

It’s the time of year when a more flavorful kind of wheat is produced which is responsible for giving our premium vodka the purest quality.

But 8848 goes further than that to enhance that clean, pure vodka taste; relying on a more traditional method to create its signature drink as 8848 Vodka uses copper in the distilling process. A copper distillation column is being used as it’s believed to be the metal that best purifies during distillation. The vodka produced is further blended with spring water from the Himalayas to give 8848 that unmatched purity and taste. The vodka has no additives and artificial flavors added and the product is sugar free as well as glycerin free. To assure best taste and quality 8848 is distilled five times to devoid any impurities.
