Special about this vodka is that it's Siberian from beginning to end. It all starts in the Itkul distillery, built in 1868, with pure water from an Artesian source and Siberian winter wheat. The Vodka is distilled 6 times and filtered 3 times by Siberian charcoal, to produce a nice, soft result. It's, of course, no coincidence that this Vodka is named after the Mammoth and the bottle has the shape of a tusk; Several well-preserved mammoths were found near the distillery.
