Few Spirits

"Overall very good clarity, with just a few floating tendrils seen. Wow, this aroma comes flying out of the glass in waves of white potato, starch, and parchment; seven more minutes of aeration don't greatly alter the aromatic profile, but there is a noticeable deepening of the established scents, especially the raw white potato element. Entry is nothing short of luscious, semisweet, chewy, and smooth; midpalate adds cocoa bean, maple, and honey. Aftertaste is graceful, solid, and simply delicious. The best small-scale vodka I've had since the Five Star 45th Parallel. So sumptuous and tasty that it's spectacular tasted neat. Best non-Polish potato vodka available.
   BRAVO! AWESOME ACHIEVEMENT!" - F. Paul Pacult, Spirit Journal, December 2010.

"Aging whiskey is a timeless task that has been performed for centuries. Now you too can experience the changes whiskey goes through as it matures in an oak cask. Watch as the whiskey goes from clear to golden, taste as the whiskey goes from young to old. Takes just a few short months in this small barrel to achieve what takes years in a big barrel. Reuse the barrel up to 5 times. Kit contains two 750ml bottles of Arkansas Lightning (bourbon white dog), a two-liter new charred oak barrel, a funnel to help pour the spirits into the barrel and step-by-step instructions."

Based on brandies distilled from pinot noir. Very complex, very elegant, very smooth. The pinot noir shows up in the incredible finish—subtle yet wonderfully rich fruit. In our blind tastings, you have to spend about double – Delamain Trés Vénérable, say, or Ferrand’s Abel – to match it. In 1999, Robb Report picked this as the world’s best distilled spirit, period.Ten barrels/year (fewer than 400 cases).
