About National Vodka Day
Ends: Oct 04, 2021
DESCRIPTION:
Voda is Russian for water and Vodka is Russia's water of life.
First distilled in homes during the 9th Century AD, the first commercial distillery was reported in the 1174 AD Vyatka Chronicle. Now, the Poles debate this, stating they first began making Vodka in the 8th Century AD. Proof exists of Polish vodka in the early 1000s AD and it was used as medicine.
Once gunpowder was discovered, vodka was used in its production as well.
British diplomats brought Vodka back to England with them during the Tudor era and by that time it had become the national drink of Poland and Finland too. Vodka was first exported as a commodity from Russia to Sweden in 1505.
Around this time flavoring vodka (to suss out impurities) became popular and just about any flavor you can think of, from chicory to peppermint, was used. In the 18t century charcoal began being used for filtration. Prior to this it had been sand and silt.
