Growth and Quality Checks

Magic Moments has 37.7% alcohol by volume and, in no time, it made its strong place in  India’s vodka market because of its focus on quality, innovation, and smoothness. It is crafted from the finest grains and follows a careful process of production. These high-quality grains go through a triple distillation process, which in simple terms means that it is purified three times. 

Because of this process, the vodka is extremely smooth in texture and has a clean palate without any harshness. The smooth texture and its subtle citrus aroma set it apart, and it soon became people’s favourite amidst Indian choices like beer and whisky. 

Every batch goes through strict quality checks to ensure that consistency is maintained throughout the batches. The experts taste and approve each and every batch before it is bottled, making sure that the flavor and experience are the same every time.
