Vodka has gained popularity for lacking an aroma and being devoid of flavor. This makes it an excellent base for many cocktails. It is also widely available and can be found in almost every bar.

The bottle is studded with over 3,000 diamonds accentuated with Swarovski crystals. The vodka is said to be developed from a secret recipe and filtered with diamond filters, however, this does not justify its price.
