Description
Smoke Lab Classic Vodka is billed as India’s first premium vodka. It comes from NV Group, one of the largest distillers in India, and founder Varun Jain. The base is Basmati rice grown near the distillery. Before distilling, the rice is steeped in pure Himalayan spring water.
The spirit is distilled five times. Next it passes through charcoal and then a two-step sparkle filtration with silver. All that care shows in the glass. You get a clear, soft vodka without a harsh burn.
Lift the glass and you’ll pick up fresh, nutty aromas with a hint of citrus. The palate feels intense and layered, yet never heavy. It ends smooth and clean, with a little citrus and a nutty edge.
This rice vodka is easy to enjoy neat or on the rocks. It also works well in like a vodka soda, a Moscow Mule or a dry Martini. With food, try it alongside grilled seafood, fresh salads or mild cheeses.
How it’s made matters here, too. This is gluten-free and vegan. The brand claims a zero-carbon footprint with zero water waste. Its distillery runs on renewable energy, and most raw materials are sourced locally. It’s a bottle that brings Indian craft and global quality together.
