Distiller Notes
2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Gold Medal Winner
Barr Hill Vodka offers a creamy mouthfeel and notes of vanilla and wildflowers. This vodka is a tribute to the hardworking beekeepers. In late summer, they take delivery of hundreds of barrels of their pure raw honey. Their season's work is what makes this vodka truly special. The recipe depends on two simple principles: never heat the honey prior to fermentation and never distill more than twice. This technique preserves the wild yeast and the rich aromatics of nectar - delivering the floral depth of wildflower fields straight to your glass.
Made from the distillation of anything containing fermentable sugars, Straight Vodka is a clear and unaged spirit. Cereal grains like wheat, rye and barley are the most commonly used bases, but modern Vodkas are now made from crops as diverse as sugar beets, grapes and potatoes. Ideally Straight Vodkas should be colorless, odorless and flavorless. They are sipped chilled and neat, or used as a base for a variety of cocktails, from the Martini to the Cosmopolitan.
