Interesting facts
"Finist" is a unique, naturally pure vodka without additives or flavor enhancers. The vodka is made from only high-quality "Lux" class spirit and pure drinking water. Each blend is created from different spirits based on various raw materials — rye, wheat, barley — each possessing a unique organoleptic profile. Instead of conventional charcoal filtration, a unique Silver Horn technology is used, which makes the vodka's taste exceptionally smooth without disrupting its natural structure. Each blend is individually processed to enhance the natural flavor and aromatic characteristics. The producers are categorically against anything that might spoil the taste of "Finist" vodka, hence the decision to forgo charcoal filtration, oxygen saturation, and aging. Immediately after processing on the Silver Horn installation, the vodka is bottled in glass bottles. The cork is made from bio-materials to preserve the original taste of the product. All of this guarantees the highest quality product, crafted from centuries of experience using modern technologies. The original design was inspired by the "House with Beasts" on Chistoprudny Boulevard in Moscow. "Most producers aim for uniform quality across all blends. This approach has its merits, but it also has consequences. The vodka ends up with an 'artificial' taste and aroma due to various technological methods. We adhere to different principles — only natural, authentic taste, born naturally" — Igor Sergienko, master technologist and author of the Silver Horn technology.
About the Manufacturer
Today, there are very few enterprises that can compare in experience and venerable age with OAO "Alkon", founded in 1897. Its owner was the famous merchant I.A. Korsakov, who recognized that Novgorod craftsmen possessed ancient recipes and long-standing traditions in the production of strong drinks, and decided to build a liqueur and vodka factory in Novgorod. The history of the city and the history of the "Alkon" factory are closely intertwined. Since 1914, its building housed a hospital for the wounded, followed by alcohol warehouses. The enterprise could only return to its main activities in 1924, launching a new vodka called "Russian Bitter", the recipe of which was kept secret by the USSR Ministry of State Security. After this, the "Alkon" factory experienced a true flourishing: its assortment expanded, the distribution network grew, and the popularity of its products increased. During the Great Patriotic War, the factory provided assistance to the front and suffered enormous losses from bombings. Gradually recovering, "Alkon" managed to reach a higher level of production, which today exceeds 3 million decaliters per year, offering consumers about 50 product names. The factory is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment from leading European firms, including modern purification systems, 6 bottling lines, and high-precision laboratory equipment. In recent years alone, OAO "Alkon" has won 100 medals (62 of them gold), 13 Honorary Diplomas, 4 Grand Prix, and 4 Platinum Quality Marks.
