Samogen translates from Russian as ‘self-distilled, what in the West might be termed moonshine. In Russia and the former USSR samogon is home distilled from fermented sugar beet and wheat. However, the best stuff is made from grapes. Naturally, this commercially produced Samogon is made from grapes.

Samogon Camotoh is made in the former USSR state of the Kyrgyz Repiblic by Master Distiller Valery Stephanovich. Born in 1929, Valery is a third generation Master Distiller who learnt his trade working for over 50 years at the Moscow distillery which produced Stolichnaya. The recipe he uses to make Samogon was given to his grandfather and dates back to 1767.

Categorised a grappa in the USA, Samogon Camotoh is made from grape juice and 10% pumice from three grape varieties: Rkatsiteli, Saperavi and Tavkravi which are fermented in stainless steel tanks for 90 days. The wine is distilled on the lees in a pot still which feeds a small column used to separate elements of the distillate with volatile esters blended back into the heart of the run. The Samogon is then filtered through volcanic pumice, long grain rice and platinum filters prior to bottling.
