Spirits of the Tsars Golden Vodka Stolen in Florida Heist

Spirits of the Tsars Golden Vodka Stolen in Florida Heist

Thieves with very expensive taste in liquor were caught on camera lifting $1.1 million worth of Spirits of the Tsars Golden Vodka.

The heist happened the night of June 22 when a group of men showed up at a customs warehouse in northwest Miami-Dade in a new white Mercedes-Benz. Surveillance video shows that, during a period of about five hours, a car, van and box truck all pulled up to the warehouse.

When they left, 752 cases of the pricey vodka were gone. The liquor was valued at $1.1 million, according to the company.

Spirits of the Tsars Golden Vodka President Mark Owens said the crooks "successfully broke a hole right where the vodka is stored and didn't set off any alarms."

The owner of the vodka is surprised that out of all the other valuable things in storage waiting to clear customs, the brazen bandits went straight for his merchandise.

"They appeared to know where to put the hole, right in the middle of the aisle next to the vodka," Owens said.

The pricey vodka, made in the Ukraine, comes in a bottle adorned with a 24-carat gold veneer logo and sells for anywhere between $250 and $300 at select liquor stores and $1,200 at nightclubs. Though it was insured, the merchandise is irreplaceable because only a limited quantity is made every year.


Authorities are now offering a $5,000 cash reward for information that will lead to the arrest of those responsible. Anyone with information is asked to call

10 types of liquor from around the world you may not know about


10. Turkish Raki

Raki is a liquor that is not only popular in Turkey, but also considered its national alcoholic beverage. It is an anise-flavored apéritif that is often served with seafood or Turkish meze (appetizers), such as yogurt dip or eggplant puree. It’s usually consumed neat, with chilled water in a separate glass, or mixed with water or ice cubes. Diluting Raki makes it a milky color. It is known as “aslan sutu” or “lion’s milk” or “the milk for the strong” as it is strong often consumed straight up.

ABV: 45%.

9. Korean Soju

Soju is a distilled beverage native to Korea. It is clear, colorless and usually consumed neat. It’s made from rice, wheat, barley, potatoes, sweet potatoes or tapioca. It is strong and it often consumed alongside Korean fried chicken and/or while smoking cigarettes.

ABV: 20%

8. Thai Mekhong

This Thai spirit is made from 95% sugar cane/molasses and 5% rice, then blended with a secret recipe of herbs and spices native to Thailand, producing a distinctive aroma and taste. It is a welcome addition to a variety of cocktails, the most famous of which is called “Sabai Sabai” (a refreshing drink with club soda, Thai basil, simple syrup and lemon juice.)

ABV: 35%.

7. Peruvian Pisco

Peruvian Pisco can be made with many different types of grapes, which means it can have a wide variation in taste, fragrance, viscosity and appearance. It is never diluted after being distilled, so it enters the bottle directly at its distillation strength.

ABV: 30-43%

6. Italian Grappa

This aromatic, grape-based brandy is of Italian origin, but enjoyed by the people of many European countries, often as an after-dinner drink to aid with digestion. It goes well with salted nuts – especially pistachios.

ABV: 35-60%.

5. Panamanian Seco Herrerano

This clear liquor is the national alcoholic beverage of Panama. It is distilled from sugarcane and either consumed straight or in mixed drinks. A popular Seco Herrerano drink is called “Chichita Panama,” and is made with grapefruit and pineapple juice. In some parts of the country it is even drunk with milk or coconut milk.

ABV: 35%

4. Icelandic Brennivín

A clear, unsweetened Schnapps varietal that is considered to be Iceland’s national beverage. It is often drunk on special occasions. It is made of fermented potato or grain and flavored with caraway and cumin among other ingredients.

ABV: Around 40%.



Fun fact: It’s referred to as “Black Death.”

3. Greek Ouzo

Like Raki, Ouzo is often mixed with water in a small, ice cube filled glass, making it cloudy and white. It can also be drunk straight for a shot glass. It is often served with mezes, or appetizers like fish, olives and feta. It is reminiscent of absinthe in taste (with flavorings such as coriander, cloves, cinnamon, anise and star anise), but smoother.

ABV: Usually between 40-50%.

2. Brazilian Cachaca

In recent years the distilled spirit, Cachaca, a distilled spirit that is made from sugar cane juice, has gained international recognition. Brazilians produce and drink Cachaca, often in their Caioirinha de Uva cocktail which includes a mix of crushed lime, sugar, Cachaca, ice and semisweet wine, giving it a grapey flavor. Outside of Brazil it’s used for tropical drinks.

ABV: Between 38-48%.

1. Finnish Viina

This clear alcohol is native to Finland and created using a 200-step continuous distillation that is designed to create a high-purity spirit. It is diluted with spring water and sugar, and is similar to vodka in taste, and often mixed with Coke, sparkling water, juice or energy drinks.

ABV: Usually between 30-38%.
 
Bud light
 
Before age 27, anything containing alcohol. Now being in early 30s, a nice bottle of merlot, or if I go out with friends or watching sports any beer will do (mainly miller or bud light.)
