The quality of a great vodka depends to a great extent on the raw materials used, their origin, the method of distilling and, above all, on the know-how of the distiller.An ultra premium vodka, Perfect 1864 is made in accordance with the most demanding French standards for the great spirits. Perfect 1864 is made exclusively from froment, a soft bread wheat grown on the rich plains of Brie-Champagne. The grain is crushed, fermented and distilled multiple times locally according to an exclusive process. The clear spirit is then matured by the Master Distillers who are heirs to age old traditions.
