Questions & answers

How Purity Vodka and Purity Gin are made, what makes them distinctive, and why smoothness is about far more than simply removing flavor. Because vodka is not just vodka when character and smoothness can exist together.

Purity Vodka

Is all vodka the same?

No. Vodkas can differ significantly in ingredients, production methods, blending, water, texture and flavor. Purity is created in pursuit of exceptional smoothness without sacrificing character.

Why does some vodka feel harsh?

Alcohol naturally creates warmth, but the overall sensation of a vodka also depends on its composition, production, balance and texture. Purity is crafted to feel remarkably smooth and composed.

Why is Purity Vodka so smooth?

At the center of Purity is our signature heart spirit, shaped through extended copper surface contact and then carefully blended with column-distilled wheat spirit and Purity water. The result is the balance, character and smoothness that define Purity.

What do 34 and 51 mean?

They represent the copper architecture through which our signature heart spirit is created. Vodka 34 Signature Edition uses 34 levels of copper over approximately 12 hours, while Vodka 51 Connoisseur Reserve extends the process to 51 levels over approximately 20 hours. The numbers are not the destination. They represent the journey.

Is Purity Vodka distilled 34 or 51 times?

No. 34 and 51 are not distillation counts. They describe the heart spirit's extended copper surface contact across 34 or 51 levels of copper over time.

What is copper surface distillation?

It is our approach to creating extensive interaction between spirit and copper during distillation, giving our signature heart spirit prolonged copper surface contact.

Why is copper important to Purity?

Copper is an important part of our distillation process. Extended copper contact helps us refine the heart spirit and develop the character and smoothness we are looking for.

Our current Purity organic vodka expressions are made using certified organic ingredients. Always refer to the individual bottle for the specific product certification.

Does Purity Vodka contain additives?

Purity's smoothness is built through our spirit-making and blending process rather than being positioned around additives.

Filtration can influence a spirit, but our approach to smoothness is built around the complete process: ingredients, the signature heart spirit, extended copper surface contact, blending and water.

What is the heart spirit?

The heart spirit is Purity's distinctive, expressive spirit component, crafted from wheat and malted barley and used to bring character to the finished blend.

Absolutely. That is central to the Purity philosophy: smoothness with character, flavor and personality.

Can too much processing remove character?

A spirit can become increasingly neutral depending on how it is produced and treated. Our philosophy is to achieve refinement while preserving personality.

Why is the heart spirit important?

Because it brings distinctive character and personality to the finished vodka, even though it represents only part of the complete blend.
