Imperial Collection vodka claims kinship in quality and craftsmanship to Karl Faberge creator of the renowned faberge eggs. The vodka is produced from Russian wheat. They are proud of the modern technologies used in the purification process. This particular Imperial Collection vodka is neither the “strong” nor the “soft” but the mainstream flagship version. The 2012 Beverage Testing Institute complimented its smooth flavor profile and recommended it specifically for (vodka) martinis.
