For the adventurous drink of the group, pay attention. For those looking for the next exciting thing in the realm of food and drink. Atomik Vodka has something worth noting. They have created a unique blend dubbed Atomik Chernobyl Exclusion Zone Vodka. If you’re anything like us, you’ve seen the HBO series, probably a few times already. Well, Atomik Chernobyl Exclusion Zone Vodka is exactly what you’re already thinking. It’s vodka made in the Chernobyl exclusion zone.
The good folks over at Atomik stated: “We found that, at our site in the main exclusion zone, radiocaesium in rye was below the (quite cautious) Ukrainian limit, but that radiostrontium was a bit above the limit”. The brand boasts, “But when we made ATOMIK grain spirit from the grain, we could find no Chernobyl-derived radioactivity in the distilled alcohol. The Chernobyl Spirit Company is trying – on a small scale – to help by beginning to invest in the affected regions and to use 75% of profits to support these regions and the new Chernobyl Biosphere Reserve in the CEZ”. The concept is quite interesting, and something we can all get behind.
However, there was only one experimental bottle of Atomik produced so far. We certainly hope this eventually hits production, because it would undoubtedly be an excellent addition to any collection. Take a look at Atomik Chernobyl Exclusion Zone Vodka and learn more from Atomik while you’re at it.
