The
Vincent Vodka 3-D Bottle |
It takes five countries
a period of three
months to produce
a bottle of Vincent
Vodka in the brand
new revolutionary
750 ml 3-D bottle.
It's made in Germany,
etched in France,
silk screened in
Belgium and filled
in Holland. The
corks are from
Portugal. The two
gold bands and
the gold palette
are made of 18
karat gold. By
slowly rotating
the bottle, the
art gallery scene
changes from one
of the five paintings
to the next, while
each painting is
enlarged by the
magnifying effect
of the bottle and
the vodka. Periodically,
collectible bottles
with new galleries
will be issued.
Gallery two, due
for release in
the year 2000.
Vincent (Van Gogh)
Vodka is made in
Holland, in the
City of Schiedam,
where distilleries
have been a part
of daily life since
the middle 1600's.
Our distillery
has been rebuilt
under the supervision
of the Holland
Monument Society,
including the windmill
in front along
the canal and the
cobblestone streets.
Through multiple
distillation of
the alcohol, the
Amsterdam recipe
creates such smoothness
and character as
only found in a
handmade, small-batch
spirit. Grain alcohol
is distilled several
times at 194 proof
to remove the congeners
(bad by-products).
Multiple distillation
is done at 176
degrees Fahrenheit
to create a 120
proof alcohol,
which is reduced
to 80 proof. Only
the heart of the
distillate is used
for the vodka.
The Master Distiller,
John DeLange, tastes
each batch of vodka,
and only with his
signature can it
be bottled. When
John DeLange is
on vacation, no
Vincent Vodka is
produced.
