Vodka has to taste good, and that's best when it's pure. That's why Uko Vodka is also a real treat neat.
Eliminating the alcoholic, strong finish was one of our main criteria. The finest premium spices and berries make up the incomparable taste. The Timut pepper, from the Himalayas, is one of the important ingredients. Aged in the sun, it is hand picked and sun dried.
