ULTIMAT VODKA
Ultra-Premium Polish Vodka Combines Wheat, Rye, and Potato
LAS VEGAS – Hundreds of vodkas are introduced each year, but only one is created through a distillation of wheat, rye and potato – Ultimat vodka. Imported and marketed worldwide by The Patrón Spirits Company (makers of the popular Patrón tequila portfolio), Ultimat’s unique combination of these two grains and potato give this ultrapremium luxury spirit a subtle taste, smooth texture, and rich complexity uncommon in most vodkas.
“Vodka continues to be the largest spirits category in the world, so it was important for us to offer one in our fast-growing portfolio of ultra-premium spirits. But when we set out to find a vodka, we knew that we needed to find one that was different, better and special, to match our other top-quality products,” says Ed Blinn, Commercial Director for Ultimat at the Patrón Spirits Company. “We looked at over 100 different vodkas, but only Ultimat deliberately combines the richness of potato, the smoothness of wheat, and the complexity of rye into a perfectly crafted, exceptional high-quality spirit.”
Ultimat is produced in Poland, the birthplace of vodka. The process for creating this fine spirit begins with milling the grains then steam cooking them to produce a mash for fermentation. Once fermented, the mash is distilled in a continuous column still, then filtered through activated carbon candle filters (ceramic filters resembling candles), and the alcohol content is reduced to its final level of 80 proof (40 percent alcohol by volume) using pure water obtained by reverse osmosis.
Once distilled, the last step is bottling. Each bottle of Ultimat vodka is an elegant cobalt blue crystal decanter skillfully designed and meticulously inspected to ensure its quality. Ultimat is available only in 750ml bottles, and retails for approximately $40. “Ultimat vodka is truly an exquisite combination of taste and beauty,” adds Blinn. “We see great potential for this brand, in the U.S., and throughout the world.” To introduce and market Ultimat, The Patrón Spirits Company is launching a multimillion-dollar consumer and trade brand campaign to show people how to “Live Ultimately.” The highly targeted marketing campaign is based on the insight that in life, when you reach or attain the ultimate experience, it completely changes your frame of reference, and no other experience will compare. In addition to Ultimat and Patrón, The Patrón Spirits Company’s portfolio also includes Pyrat, an ultra-premium Caribbean rum blended in the British West Indies island of Anguilla.
