I don't know
about you, but I
have never
associated
Greece or
Cyprus with
Vodka. However
I have six to
show you.

Simply titled Vodka (in Russian) is the first bottle from Kykkos Monastery whilst Nikifskaya is yet
another Etko / Haggipavlu bottle. Another bottle simply called Vodka, this time in English, is from
Kkoullas. The two Samichoff bottles are from Pantelides, the red at 36°GL and the blue at 40°GL.
Finally, Gorlovka Vodka is from Selim & Sons.

In part two of this article I will bring you minis of the classic Greek spirit, Ouzo together with gins,
rums and a lesser known spirit, Zivania. I also have a few liqueurs to show you.

One last thing. I have noticed that all the minis I have seen from Cyprus are effectively from Greek
Cyprus. Does anyone know of any minis from the Turkish part of the island, before or after the
unofficial split? If so send me the pics at: minizv@gmail.com
