In the fifth distillation, CiROC Ultra-Premium Vodka is truly created in a traditional, tailor-made copper pot still at the historic Distillerie de Chevanceaux in the South of France. The wine is distilled four times in column stills. Fine French grapes are specially selected for harvest and made into a wine. While all Vodka is distilled, CiROC Ultra-Premium Vodka is distilled five times. The CiROC Ultra-Premium Vodka distillation process ensures the best possible flavor. It is the fine French grapes and the fifth distillation at the historic Distillerie de Chevanceaux in the South of France that give CiROC Ultra-Premium Vodka a distinctive flavor with an exceptionally fresh, citrus taste. Unlike most vodkas, which are made from grain, CiROC Ultra-Premium Vodka is gluten-free and distilled from fine French grapes a process inspired by over a century of wine-making expertise and craftsmanship.
