Number 5 on our October Booze for King series ,the Ciroc vodka stands in a class of it’s own. Established in 2003 in the South of France, Cîroc Ultra-Premium Vodka is one of the only vodka brands in the world made from fine French grapes rather than the typical grain. Unlike all other vodkas, Ciroc was made from grapes to maintain an unrivaled crisp taste and it is distilled five times to guarantee a smooth finish. Ever wondered what gives this amazing vodka brand it’s smooth taste? well you got it. (again Ciroc is said to be the only vodka distilled 5 times after fermentation). A bottle of Ciroc costs between N150,000 – N200,000 in most Nigerian clubs.
