Similar to how each different wine has a different flavor based on terroir, an ultra premium vodka has a distinct smell, flavor, aftertaste, and sensation. For example, ultra premium vodka is typically unflavored yet can display notes of citrus, cream, or a variety of other tastes.

HOW CÎROC VODKA IS MADE: THE STEPS OF OUR DISTILLATION. Unlike most vodkas, which are made from grain, CÎROC Vodka is distilled from fine French grapes; a process inspired by over a century of wine-making expertise and craftsmanship.

France Cîroc is a brand of alcoholic beverages produced in France since 2003 and distributed by the British-based multinational alcoholic beverage maker Diageo. The brand family includes vodka, flavored products containing vodka, and brandy.

According to The Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (DISCUS), for a spirit to qualify as "premium," it must meet four criteria: easy sippability, quality ingredients, a unique and full-bodied flavor, and be aged for longer than the minimum requirement for that specific type of liquor.

The term “premium” used to mean that the distilled spirits, especially whiskey or vodka, were made by smaller companies with higher standards of production. Nowadays, however, the term “premium” is applied more generally to liquors that are either of superior quality assurance or simply aged for longer periods.
