ZYR Russian Vodka is the lone recipient of the Triple Crown of Vodka Reviews, a perfect 100 points from Wine Enthusiast, 5 stars from Paul Pacult's Spirit Journal and the Double Gold and Best Vodka of Show at the San Francisco World Spirit Competition. ZYR is noticeably smoother than other vodkas as a result of nine filtrations, five distillations and a three-stage taste test. ZYR has a great mouthfeel and fresh taste with a slightly sweet finish, the result of blending wheat and rye grains. ZYR is available in nine states on the East Coast and found in most of the nicest restaurants. ZYR's founder, an American and 5 year resident of Moscow, David Katz, has visited more than forty factories to understand the process and has lectured at Yale, U Conn, Columbia among others and teaches at Florida International University's Beverage Management Program. He urges all to try ZYR neat or on the rocks, or in a dry Vodka Martini.
