NEMIROFF De Luxe: That’s my spirit.

Nemiroff is a renowned Ukrainian premium vodka brand with a legacy spanning over 150 years. Known for its unwavering commitment to quality, Nemiroff crafts premium vodkas using only natural ingredients that reflect the rich Ukrainian heritage and offer an exceptional taste experience. From classic vodkas to innovative infused flavours, Nemiroff continues to set the standard for excellence in the spirits industry.

In 1872, after an extensive reconstruction, the Nemiroff distillery emerged as the largest and most influential establishment in the region, becoming a key player in the local alcohol exports to Europe. Its reputation had already spread beyond borders, thanks to its superior quality. While other producers relied on inexpensive, potato-based spirits, Nemiroff set a new standard, utilising high-quality grain alcohol in its production.

Today, Nemiroff is proud to be the #1 premium vodka brand and the top vodka exporter from Ukraine, as well as the fastest-growing spirits brand worldwide.

The brand’s flagship product, Nemiroff De Luxe, is an exceptional, distinguished vodka that has been sold globally since 2018. Known for its smoothness and complexity, this vodka has achieved legendary status. It is a spirit with character, inspired by centuries-old vodka-making traditions in Ukraine. This refined, classic vodka comprises luxury wheat alcohol, pure water, a touch of honey, and a unique ingredient that sets it apart—linden flower aromatic alcohol, a hallmark of the local terroir.

Our skilled craftsmen meticulously blend these ingredients and use charcoal filtration, enriching the vodka with minerals and creating a rich, unique flavour. Nemiroff De Luxe undergoes an 11-stage filtration process, with the final two stages incorporating silver and platinum for unparalleled purity.

The result? A clean, crisp aroma with hints of apple, lemon peel, and mint that tease the senses. On the palate, it is smooth and full-bodied, with just the right touch of spice and citrus notes, a hint of apple, and a long, dry finish with lemon zest and peppermint nuances. Nemiroff De Luxe makes an excellent base for all kinds of cocktails due to its versatility.

Nemiroff believes in the strength of the human spirit and reaches its global clients with a message of self-determination. “That’s my Spirit” is a call to believe in oneself and feel the power of one’s own spirit.

Everyone has a Spirit. What’s Yours?
Nemiroff De Luxe. That’s My Spirit.
