Our prior outing with Vermont’s Saxtons River Distillery noticed us reviewing the operation’s prime shelf Perc Espresso Liqueur, approach again in 2014. Now we’re again with much less unique fare: A vodka made out of a corn-based mash that’s put by means of a vacuum distillation course of earlier than bottling. A portion of the proceeds from gross sales are earmarked to learn aid for Ukraine.
It’s a superbly approachable vodka — although clearly from the U.S. reasonably than the Ukraine. Clear for probably the most half however somewhat doughy on the nostril, the aromatics are candy and gently floral, with touches of the underlying corn mash seen. Nice however largely impartial, the aromas hardly stand out in any specific dimension.
The palate exhibits off a bit extra sweetness than anticipated, frivolously sweetened dairy cream coming throughout a bit like one thing you’d discover on prime of your favourite coffee-based beverage. Ringed with mild notes of coconut and vanilla, there’s a touch of cake frosting on the end, which may altogether stand to be a bit extra biting and a bit much less dessert-like.
80 proof.
