Distiller Notes
Monkey in Paradise has consistently received top honors in the industry's most respected competitions. Crafted in Florida, from only the highest-grade American corn. Distilled seven times in copper stills, and then refined through an advanced vapor filtering process to reduce sulfites naturally, the rest is a best-in-class vodka with a pure, clean flavor profile.
You don't expect a premium vodka to have a name like "Monkey in Paradise." Or, for that vodka to win Double Golds at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. "Best Domestic Vodka" at the Fifty Best American-Made Craft Vodkas tasting competition. Double Gold and "Best Vodka" at the Stuttgart International Spirits Competition. And, Double Gold and "Best Vodka" at the New York World Wine & Spirits Competition - two years in a row. It all starts with sweet, certified American-grown corn. That's also where it stops. Unlike other vodkas that add cheaper grains to their mash which bitter the taste, our vodka lets the corn's natural sweetness come through. Plus, the corn-to-water ratio in our proprietary mash creates a thicker, richer mash. Sure, it's harder to work with and makes the fermentation process twice as long. But, it's this extra time and effort that gives our vodka its clear, clean taste.
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.
