UNIQUENESS OF PRODUCTION
DANZKA Original is made in the traditional Scandinavian Distillation process. The whole grain is crushed and heated in water to break down the starch. Yeast is added, setting off a fermentation process that transforms the starch parts of the grain into alcohol and carbon dioxide – the latter being used in the soft drinks industry. After fermentation, the spirit for DANZKA Original passes through a continuous six-column distillation process. This process allows us to have full control of the distillation at every stage and to ensure that unwanted impurities are removed. At the same time, it is possible to identify aromas that have a positive effect on product quality and selectively retain these. The continuous distillation process, of which we are very proud, is called “Scandinavian style of Vodka distillation”, and enables us to obtain the desired purity, smoothness and well-balanced taste for DANZKA Original.
Vodka is the simplest form of spirit as it consists of spirit (fermented substances) and water only.
Some vodka brands obtain the spirit from starch extracted from potatoes, molasses or by-products from the milling industry. But DANZKA Original is made only from 100% whole grain.This ensures that we know and control the raw material all the way from nature to consumer. The use of whole grain guarantees vodka with much more complete taste and aroma. Many years of experience proved that whole grain is the best basis for smooth and well-balanced premium vodka. We give pride of place to quality and choose only the finest whole grain for DANZKA Original.

A HIGH-QUALITY VODKA
WATER
Water is not just water.
You may have tried to make ice-cubes from tap water. The ice becomes whitish and cloudy and the frozen water that should taste of nothing acquires an unfortunate aftertaste. A process that shows what happens when the mineral content of the water is allowed to affect its character. If, however, you make ice-cubes from demineralised water, the cubes stay completely clear with a pure taste.
In the same way, the purity of the water used is of crucial importance to the taste of vodka. Therefore, we have chosen to use water extracted from the Danish underground that has been demineralised when producing DANZKA Original. The purity of the water brings the taste of the 100% grain spirit into focus.
BLENDING AND FILTRATION
When the spirit is mixed with water it becomes vodka – a vodka already of very high quality thanks to the careful treatment of the water and spirit. However, the vodka does not become the premium quality DANZKA Original until it has also gone through two filtrations: first, a membrane filter which retains even the smallest particles; and then through a ‘polish’ which leaves a crystal clear and brilliant liquid with a smooth and balanced taste
01
A delicate well balanced vodka, mild and pure with an incomparable rich taste.
02
It serves as the perfect base in a cocktail or straight for pure enjoyment.
DANZKA THE SPIRIT PREMIUM SUPERIOR VODKA
DANZKA has taken its family of award-winning vodkas to the next level with the release of THE SPIRIT, a brand new, totally pure Vodka created on the origins of vodka distilling. THE SPIRIT began as an idea between friends by the beautiful Limfjord in Denmark to create the ultimate variant of DANZKA Vodka. Rüdiger Behn, a passionate distiller and the fourth generation of his family producing spirits, and Timothy Jacob Jensen, Group CEO and Chief designer of Jacob Jensen Design, developed the concept to create a new vodka combining the highest distilling arts with Scandinavian design traditions. The long process they used to create THE SPIRIT evolved it into a perfect taste experience that involves all senses. The result is a vodka with 44% vol. / 88 proof based on a long tradition of vodka distilling – pure, substantial and slightly grainy – a perfect symbioses of raw wheat and Nordic water naturally filtered.
