A traditional georgian family recipe

Old Vodka is made using a 200 year old Georgian family recipe with quite a story. The pioneer behind it all, Mate Salamashvili, was famous within his community as an expert vodka maker and healer. Not only was he responsible for being the catalyst for many a merry evening, he also used his alcohol and ingredients gathered in the Caucasus Mountains to make remedies to treat a variety of different illnesses.

The front line

In 1941, Mate’s great grandson took his treasured family tradition to front line. Like his great grandfather, Nikoloz used his skills to help raise spirits and treat the many wounded and sick. He saved countless lives and lifted the morale of many of his comrades and Russian officers. Years later one Russian officer went to Georgia to find Nikolaz and drink the vodka he had tasted during the war. He had never forgotten the taste, and even brought with him a letter about Old Vodka which he had sent home from the front line years earlier.

The taste of freedom

Merab, third generation grandson to Mate Salamashvili, is now producing his treasured family recipe from his Hertfordshire base. Merab believes that Great Britain is a place of freedom and opportunity, where skilled people and ambitious businesses are encouraged and can succeed. This is why
THE TASTE OF FREEDOM is the ethos behind Old Vodka.
