About PUR Vodka
PUR Vodka is a Montréal vodka created by Nicolas Duvernois. Its story is well known in Quebec: he dreamed up the idea while working as a hospital janitor, then turned it into a local spirits brand.
It works well in simple drinks, like a vodka soda with lime, or a Caesar for a weekend brunch. A bottle makes a nice gift for someone who enjoys an entrepreneur's story as much as the drink itself. Choosing it is an easy way to keep your bar cart stocked with a spirit from Montréal.
