Grey Goose Vodka
One distillation, two French ingredients. Grey Goose Vodka is 40 percent alcohol, and a 44 ml pour has 98 calories. The 750 ml bottle is one of six sizes, from 50 ml up to 1.75 L.
Canada does not make this bottle. Soft winter wheat comes from Picardie. Spring water is drawn from a well in Gensac-la-Pallue, 500 feet under the Cognac plant. Bacardi bought it in 2004, after Sidney Frank and Francois Thibault created it in 1997.
The mash goes through steel and copper columns once, then a cellulose and carbon polish. The site says each batch is tasted after 550 quality checks. The LCBO lists the 750 ml at $49.95.
