Khortytsa Platinum Vodka Scores 94 Rating at Ultimate Spirits Challenge

23 Dec 2014 --- Ukraine's famed Khortytsa (Hor-Ti-Tsa) Platinum Vodka scored a 94-point rating at the 2014 Ultimate Spirits Challenge. This, on the heels of the Distillery being named among the world's best distilleries at the 2014 New York International Spirits Competition (NYISC).

Khortytsa Platinum Vodka is imported to the United States by Megapolis USA, a subsidiary of Global Spirits and retails for a suggested $14.99/per 750ml.

In addition to a score of 94, which equates to "excellent and highly-recommended" for consumers, judges noted that the vodka's taste was, "Spring water clear with a big, assertive, snack cracker-grain aroma. Toasty on the palate, it is dry with a creamy texture. A winner on all levels."

The competition named Khortytsa a "great value," which indicates products with a favorable relationship between their price and final score. Finally, Khortytsa also received the "Tried & True Award", which is given to products that are entered into the 2015 competition and have scored 85 or higher in two prior USC competitions. It is a way to recognize consistency of product quality.

"Khortytsa is recognized as one of the world's leading vodkas because it over delivers on quality in relation to its price," noted Yuri Samar, sales and marketing director, Megapolis USA/Global Spirits. "The brand is growing quite rapidly in the US, and is expected to be up over 30% in 2014."
