From Fields and Springs:
A Vodka Purely Fit for Kings
KRÖL VODKA MAKES FIRST SHOWING OUTSIDE OF POLAND IN SELF ULTIMATE LUXURY LOUNGE AT THE 2006 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL
Exceptionally pure, luxuriously smooth and clearly superior, Kröl Vodka has arrived on U.S. shores. From the Polish word for “king,” Kröl is truly a regal addition to any bar. The brand recently made its debut at the Sundance Film Festival, where it was sipped in specialty cocktails by festivalgoers including Terrence Howard, Jessica Biel, and Wilmer Valderrama.
Kröl is made in Poland – the birthplace of vodka – from 100% pure Polish rye grain grown to the exacting standards of the Kröl family, whose family recipe has remained a well-guarded secret over many generations. The purest vodka on the market demands that the fields of sweet, late harvest rye remain untreated and as pristine as the pure Polish mountain spring water with which they are distilled.
Combining tradition and expertise with today’s best distillation methods, Kröl is distilled four times to eliminate all impurities and to capture nuances of flavor unique to the spirit. Kröl is then filtered six times until it is sheer, smooth perfection on the palate.
A favorite of the Polish aristocracy since the early 1820’s, Kröl Vodka halted production during World War II. Recently, the family resumed its tradition of producing this vodka of unparalleled taste, texture, and above all, purity (it contains absolutely no additives or preservatives.)
Kröl is instantly recognizable in its elegant frosted glass bottle featuring a silhouette of “the king” himself in its window. With accents of midnight blue and platinum leaf scrolling, the bottle is a work of art worthy of its contents.
Kröl recently made its United States debut at the Sundance Film Festival’s SELF Ultimate Luxury Lounge, where it was featured in three signature cocktails developed by Kim Haasarud, “The Liquid Chef.” “This is a vodka that is very clean and very flavorful,” says Haasarud. “It has subtle notes of rye, fennel and caraway, and it
stands alone or mixes beautifully.” Recipes follow.
