Ikon True Russian Vodka Declines To Bid on Sale of Absolut Vodka





Russia, Dec 12, 2007

Ikon True Russian Vodka has issued a statement to counter several seconds of frenzied speculation by Russian vodka lovers; they will not bid in the upcoming auction of Absolut Vodka by the Swedish Government. Svetlana Zanko, vice Chairwoman of Ikon True Russian Vodka stated earlier today from her office in Kirov , Russia that Ikon True Russian Vodka would not be participating in the Absolut Vodka auction. Zanko said “we can not entertain a purchase of a vodka company which we absolutely have never heard of. With the plethora of vodkas on the market; it would be an up hill challenge to launch an unknown vodka from Sweden , when every vodka lover knows true vodka is always True Russian Vodka.” The vice chairwoman went on to state that she wishes the new fledgling company well and hopes that they are successfully bought. Zanko did remark that vodka like all things of great substance is found in its contents, not in its package."

Very Affordable

Here is what Wine Enthusiast said about Ikon True Russian Vodka.

Inside Scoop: As super and ultrapremium vodkas' popularity continue to score major profit-margin points for distillers, the age of $15 unflavored vodka seems like a generation ago. There are, however, a handful of really good values left. IKON and Seagram's Platinum are all well below $20 and all taste as though they are priced above it.

Rich Dobbs of the Martini Lounge has this to say about Ikon True Russian Vodka:

" The nose on this vodka was extremely appealing and I went back for a few extra sniffs. I took a swig and was very glad I did. It's not a vodka trying to be tasteless like some of the other one's out there and it's not trying to be a big grain vodka either. It has a great middle of the road feel and it did something that most other vodkas do not normally do, it made my mouth water. I was blown away at the rich flavors inside of this one and it had a big, round feel to it. "Round" is the best way I can describe it and, no, not like your mother.



You will not, ever, find a bottle of vodka that is better than Ikon for under US$20. Ever. Never. Never ever. This is a bottle that I could easily put in to a taste test with self-proclaimed vodka aficionado's alongside some of the premium vodkas and come away with a pleasing sense of self-satisfaction at calling them morons. Yet, the vodka is cheap enough to be a well vodka. Oh praise to the bar that has Ikon as the well vodka, long will it be loved."
