Tasting Panel
With an expressive, feminine nose of blueberries, lavender, and vanilla bean, this charming spirit uses hand-harvested Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes from Jean-Charles Boisset’s estate vineyards in Burgundy. After the varieties are fermented separately, the grapes are aged for six months in barrel before blending (they sit for two additional months for the flavors to meld). The result of this labor-intensive process is an exquisitely exotic vodka with flavors of summer roses, gardenia, and a continuous perfume on the nose and sumptuous palate.
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.
