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.
7 April 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.
