Polar Ice Vodka Arctic Extreme awarded the
IWSC Gold Outstanding
TORONTO, Aug. 20, 2020 /CNW/ - When you drink a Polar
Ice Vodka Arctic Extreme, you are drinking one of the best vodkas
in the world.
More than a thousand vodkas from around the world are submitted
annually for consideration by the International Wine & Spirits
Competition (IWSC), but only 10 are bestowed the IWSC Gold
Outstanding, the highest medal given to the best vodkas in the
world.
One of the 10 this year is Polar Ice Arctic Extreme.
"We've always put quality and taste first, so we're so proud
that a Canadian vodka not only wins prestigious international
recognition year after year, but takes home a spot in the top 10
vodkas of the world," says Amy Liu,
Polar Ice Vodka Brand Manager for Corby Spirit and Wine.
"Significantly, Polar Ice beat out all of the global brands that
are typically atop the best-selling lists and every American
vodka."
The IWSC is the world's largest and most influential
international spirit awards company. They have more than 50 years'
experience with the most eminent spirit professionals, including
Stephen Beal, Dawn Davies MW,
Joel Harrison, Arthur Nagele and Richard Paterson.
Polar Ice Vodka also won Gold at the San Francisco Wine and
Spirit Competition.
The Arctic Extreme Vodka is a quadruple distilled, three-time
filtered vodka produced at Corby's Hiram
Walker and Sons Distillery in Windsor. The drink is inspired by Canada's pristine Arctic areas and utilizes a
unique 6°C chill filtration process to ensure a finished vodka that
is exceptionally smooth.
Judges at the IWSC said it is, "Supremely clean nose with
unctuous liquorice, anise, and the tiniest touch of chocolate and
walnut evolving on the palate. Sublimely complex with exquisite
texture and balance. Stylish, bold and absolutely superb."
