Zyr Vodka

Is ZYR the best Russian vodka? That's the claim behind the vodka which is made from water drawn from 460 feet below Russia's heartland and a fermented blend of winter wheat and rye. They use a 9/5/3 ratio (water filtered nine times, five distillations and three taste testings) to get the right taste. The vodka has gotten high marks from a variety of publications, including most recently, Liquor Snob and sells for around $30. It's on my list of vodkas to try and see if it can tempt me away from my new favorite, Christiania vodka.
