Enjoy a more refined version with GREY GOOSE® La Poire Flavoured Vodka, ST-GERMAIN®, Calvados apple brandy and, of course, fresh apple juice. Of all the vodkas sampled Grey Goose emerged victorious receiving 96 points out of a possible hundred and was awarded the only Platinum medal. A household name having been founded by Sidney Frank in 1997, Grey Goose is the product of just two ingredients.

Served in a tall glass, this twist on a classic martini cocktail is long on flavour with added notes of spicy ginger and citrus. Drinks will be chilled in 30-45 minutes and will be kept cold for several hours, especially if kept in the shade. GREY GOOSE vodka is distilled in the gastronomy capital of the world, France, using the traditions of the Maître de Chai with only two ingredients – single-origin Picardie winter wheat and natural spring water.

Founded in 1997 with the unlikely coupling of a spirits entrepreneur and revered Cognac cellar master, Grey Goose is the world’s best-selling brand of premium vodka. The water used in Grey Goose is naturally filtered through underground limestone so deep it's untouched by pollutants.

However upstart Grey Goose has exploded past the competition from a paltry 50 000 cases in 1997 to 1. Initially soft with a gentle sweetness that gradually envelops the mouth, smooth and rounded texture with a hint of almond. Grey Goose is one of the original super-premium vodkas, and without doubt one of the creamiest vodkas we've ever tasted. During the distilling process, Grey Goose uses enzymes to break down carbohydrates into fermentable sugars. The Maître de Chai for Grey Goose is François Thibault, who developed the original recipe for the vodka in Cognac, France.I have spent the last couple of days trying to work this out and I feel it is very important when trying to assess the success of Grey Goose. It is distilled in a column and then blended with the purest water that has been naturally filtered through Grande Champagne limestone in the Gensac springs.
