Hailing from the foothills of Slovakia where it is seven-times distilled, and then filtered seven more, Double Cross Vodka utilizes estate-grown winter wheat and pure mountain spring water which is sourced from underground aquifers located 200 feet below the earth’s surface to achieve its unique formula. Master distiller, Dr. Jan Krak is the master-mind behind Double Cross Vodka, and it’s plain to see he’s taken no shortcuts in the production of what he’s calling “the crowning achievement of his life’s work.”
Beyond the painstaking small-batch distilling process implemented by Dr. Krak, Double Cross Vodka makes a big impression on consumers long before they even taken a sip with their truly unique French-made (individually numbered) crystal glass bottles, that make a first impression like nothing else we’ve seen! The back of each bottle is inscribed with Slovak poetry by literary master from the 1800’s which clearly shines through the bottle and adds a touch of sophistication.
As luck would have it we recently were given an unique opportunity to sit down and have a formal tasting with a sample of Double Cross Vodka in the comfort of the Busted Wallet offices.
