Snow Queen is made in Kazakhstan by Geom Limited. It’s made from wheat and distilled five times. Snow Queen boasts 10 gold, 7 silver and 8 bronze medals for excellence in various international vodka competitions. Snow Queen was named a Best of Show at the 2008 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Snow Queen is the vodka that Gray Goose should be. The bottle, displaying 5 gold medals, sets expectations high and the vodka delivers.

As far as taste goes, Snow Queen is as good as it gets. Ciroc is slightly sweeter but its taste is no more enjoyable than Snow Queen’s. The burn and finish of Snow Queen is perhaps a little less pleasant than Ciroc or Tito’s but it’s still among the best in those categories. Even at about $38/liter Snow Queen is still a vodka worth checking out.
