The tradition of filtering vodka through charcoal dates back to Theodor Lowitz in 1780. Since then, most distillers have followed the process as standard practice. However Brooklyn-born vodka Zakuska is rewriting the rules, offering the world a taste of something rare: unfiltered, high-end vodka.
Unfiltered vodka preserves its natural character. Distilled from red winter wheat and corn, Zakuska reveals notes of honey, vanilla, fig, and spice—an unexpected depth and richness that lingers long after the first sip. Though Brooklyn in spirit, it’s distilled with care in Columbus, Ohio.

More than a spirit, Zakuska is a lifestyle rooted in community, music, and family. Founder Arthur Revechiks built the brand on the values he grew up with: family gatherings filled with music, laughter, and vodka that brought people together. That sense of celebration is infused into every detail of Zakuska, from its sleek packaging to its smooth, unfiltered finish.
If you’ve attended events across New York City, chances are you’ve spotted Zakuska behind the bar. The brand has quickly become a favorite within the music and art scene, aligning perfectly with its mission: to be enjoyed neat, among friends, and in moments of creativity and connection.
Arthur’s story reflects the brand’s heart. He often recalls memories of sharing vodka with his father while listening to music—moments filled with joy, laughter, and song. It’s that spirit of togetherness that Zakuska hopes to pass on to everyone who raises a glass.
At Stellar Connect, we’ve had the privilege of partnering with Zakuska for over a year. Time and again, the brand has elevated our events—not only through the quality of its vodka but also through the professionalism and vision behind it. For us, Zakuska isn’t just a vodka—it’s an experience.
