Distiller Notes
Grey Goose La Poire Flavored Vodka embodies the noble flavor of anjou pears, prized for their mellow flavor and subtle sweetness by French chefs and patissiers. The rich medley of fresh pears deepens the flavor with subtle hints of nuttiness and floral tones of honeysuckle and wildflower. No other pear flavored vodka has had the privilege of including ingredients such as soft French wheat and pure Gensac spring water - ingredients that deliver a flavor that is long and round with just a hint of bitter almond hidden in the lingering finish.
Like the soft winter wheat used to make Grey Goose Vodka, the anjou pear is cultivated in France and is an essential ingredient in classic French pastries and desserts like the tarte aux poires, resulting in a superior pear flavored vodka. Grey Goose La Poire Flavored Vodka benefits from the Grey Goose production process, designed and implemented by Cellar Master François Thibault, and focuses on bringing out the naturally superior characteristics of ripe fruits. A rich medley of fresh pears produces the complex, yet pure flavor of Grey Goose La Poire Flavored Vodka.
Though Vodka aspires to be an odorless and tasteless spirit on its own, this aspect (somewhat ironically) makes it the perfect base for flavored spirits, as there aren’t any other flavors or aromas to compete with those being added. While some premium producers steep their Vodkas with actual fruit, extracts and concentrates are most commonly used to achieve a desired flavor.
