The Case for Characterful Vodka
Vodka should possess character that enhances cocktails rather than being flavorless and odorless. Many brands advocate for multiple distillations to achieve such profiles, but true quality emerges from the base ingredients and production methods. Kettle One, for instance, utilizes a wheat base complemented by both pot and column distillation to create vodka that adds subtle character. This approach not only distinguishes their product but also invites consumers to explore the craftsmanship behind vodka at their Netherlands distillery.
