Diamonds, Gold & Vodka: What Recession?
One is filtered through diamonds and the other has gold flakes in the bottle. Double Cross Vodka is made in the Slovak Republic, where it is “filtered with diamond dust.” The small red strip label says so. Thanks to The Intoxicologist and Emily Haile for bringing this to our attention. Luxist explains:
The seven-times-distilled spirit uses only 100 percent organic, estate-grown winter wheat and mountain spring water drawn from aquifers located 200-feet below ground level. Double Cross’ diamond dust filtration system is said to provide unprecedented filtration capability because of the “unique shape and sub-micron size of the diamond dust particles.”
Rather than filter through the costly substance and leave it at the distillery, Gold Flakes Vodka puts the 24 karat gold right in each bottle. Luxist says it will retail for about $60 per bottle.

Whey Neutral Spirits
There is a lot going on with this label. First and most obviously, it’s in the style of a cream liqueur, but it’s classified as a wine. The back label is in the style of a front label. And it’s made with whey neutral spirits. Wikipedia says whey is “the liquid remaining after milk has been curdled and strained; it is a by-product of the manufacture of cheese or casein.” It is further evidence that wine and spirits can be made from a huge number of commodities. Dr. John Murtagh was an expert on converting whey into spirits:
Since 1979 John has been retained as a consultant to Carbery Distillers Ltd. of Ireland, on the development and operation of their process for the fermentation of cheese whey, to produce very-high-quality neutral spirit for beverage and industrial uses. He has also been responsible for the commissioning of three whey-alcohol plants for Carbery licensees in New Zealand and the U.S., and continues to visit and assist these plants.
