Iceberg Vodka

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Iceberg Vodka is a brand of vodka that is produced in Canada. It is unique in that it uses water from icebergs in its production process, which is believed to give it a distinct taste and purity.

History[edit | edit source]

Iceberg Vodka was established in 1995 by the Canadian Iceberg Vodka Corporation, a company based in Toronto, Ontario. The company was founded with the aim of creating a high-quality vodka using the purest water source available - icebergs.

Production[edit | edit source]

The production of Iceberg Vodka begins with the harvesting of icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. These icebergs are over 12,000 years old and contain water that is considered to be some of the purest on earth. The iceberg water is then combined with grain alcohol produced from sweet corn grown in Ontario. The mixture is distilled and filtered multiple times to ensure its purity and smoothness.

Taste and Quality[edit | edit source]

Iceberg Vodka is known for its smooth and clean taste, which is attributed to the purity of the iceberg water used in its production. It is often enjoyed neat or used as a base in various cocktail recipes. The brand has received numerous awards for its quality and taste, including gold medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and the International Wine and Spirit Competition.

Environmental Impact[edit | edit source]

The harvesting of icebergs for the production of Iceberg Vodka is regulated by the Canadian government to ensure it does not negatively impact the environment. The icebergs used are naturally calving, meaning they have broken off from larger ice formations and are already floating in the ocean.
