Swiss Gold Vodka

Swiss Gold Vodka is a 40% ABV plain vodka made from fully ripened wheat by Distillerie Studer in the Swiss canton of Lucerne. The producer states the vodka is achieved through a long, painstaking distillation process based on a traditional recipe, then brought together with crystal-clear water from the distillery's own sources. A multi-stage filtration process, whose details are kept secret, shapes the vodka's smooth character. Inside the Matterhorn-silhouetted bottle, flakes of 24-carat gold leaf float; this visual detail gives the product its name.

What does Swiss Gold Vodka taste like?

Studer describes the vodka as smooth and full, with silky smoothness and an exceptionally pure, clean taste. British retailer Threshers also speaks of a clean, lively, silky structure and a soft, neutral finish. The vodka has won the "Vodka of the Year" title at ISW and gold medals at competitions such as the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and IWSC.

How is it served?

It can be used neat, over ice, or as a cocktail base. Served well chilled in a clear glass, the gold particles remain visible; this quality also makes it suitable for celebrations and gift occasions.

What food does it pair with?

Its clean, silky structure pairs well with light dishes such as smoked salmon, seafood and sushi. It also offers a balanced match with mature cheeses on a Swiss-style meze platter.
