But today this has all changed and Ciroc has played its part shaking up the game and re-envisioning vodka as a contemporary luxury spirit.

The Ugni Blanc grapes are then distilled four times in stainless steel column stills while the Mauzac Blanc grapes are distilled in copper stills. These are then blended together at a ratio of 95% Ugni Blanc and 5% Mauzac blanc before undergoing a fifth distillation in a traditional copper pot.
