LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

A revolutionary departure from vodka tradition. By using grapes instead of grain, Cîroc achieved a literal 'smoothness' and a floral lightness that redefined what a luxury vodka could be.

The Library Note

Created in 2003 by Jean-Sébastien Robiquet, a charismatic oenologist and master distiller, Cîroc is one of the few vodkas in the world produced from grapes (Mauzac Blanc and Ugni Blanc) through cold maceration and cold fermentation techniques usually reserved for fine wines. It became a global phenomenon through its partnership with Sean 'Diddy' Combs.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Faintly sweet and citrusy with notes of fresh grapes and a hint of lemon zest.

THE PALATE

Silky and smooth with a refined grape-derived fruitiness and a clean, crisp character.

THE FINISH

Refreshing and neutral with a light floral linger.

Sensory Profile

THE PERFECT SERVE

The 'Cîroc Blue Stone': 1.5 oz Cîroc, 0.5 oz Blue Curacao, 0.5 oz Lemon Juice, 0.5 oz Syrup. Its fruity base makes it more expressive in citrus-forward cocktails than neutral grain vodkas.

Composition
