Nose
Rich and complex for a vodka, with toasted bread, fresh cream, and subtle floral notes. The copper still influence is evident in the rounded warmth.
Palate
Silky and full-bodied at 42.3%, with a creamy wheat sweetness, gentle spice, and a clean, mineral quality. The vintage copper still from 1929 imparts a warmth and richness that column stills cannot replicate.
Finish
Long and satisfying with lingering cream, gentle warmth, and a clean mineral close.

View All (2)The nose on this is lovely — I immediately got fresh cream and subtle floral notes. On the palate, the Silky and full-bodied at 42 is beautifully done, and the a clean mineral close. I agree with the editorial review — this is a seriously impressive vodka. Tried it neat at room temperature first, then chilled from the freezer. Both excellent, but neat at room temp shows off the character better.
18 March 2026Third bottle in and it just gets better. The nose opens with The copper still influence is evident in the rounded warmth — I also picked up Rich and complex for a vodka that the review mentions. On the palate, with a creamy wheat sweetness is spot on, and there's a mineral quality that makes this incredibly smooth. The finish closes with gentle warmth. This has become my go-to. Makes an incredible Martini too.
