Vodka The Master Class Tasting Box 135mL

Time to Get Schooled
Ring the bell, suckas’.The school of Vodka is now in session.
But first, some classroom rules:
1) Bring a number 2 pencil, a notebook and your tumbler to class every day.
2) Energy drinks will be strictly prohibited as a mixer. After all, you’re not some naive, booze-guzzling freshman.
Because if you think Vodka is some tasteless, odorless hooch confined to Solo cups filled with syrupy sweet juices and energy drinks… well. We’ve got our work cut out for us. So take out a pen and paper — it’s time to get schooled.
Vodka is one of the best-selling Spirits in the worldand yet, there are so many questions surrounding: is it made from potatoes? How ‘bout wheat? Perhaps corn? Did a narwhal piss it into existence? (Yes, yes, yes, and not that we’re aware of.)
Unlike other Spirits,Vodka can be made anywhere in the world. Most use fermented grains (like sorghum, corn, rice, rye or wheat), but you’ll also find potatoes, grapes and other fruits thrown into the mix. And just like with any good Whisky or Rum, you can almost always smell and taste the source. So that whole notion about Vodka being completely odorless and tasteless?It’s total bunk.
Case in point: Aivy Blue Triple Grain Vodka, made from three grains (barley, wheat, and rye) with a light rye spice notes and a fruity flavor. Or The Stillery’s First dinkelwheat (a.k.a. spelt) Vodka, a rich malty number with sweet hints of marzipan and white chocolate. Still need proof? Kabumm Vodka’s winter wheat and hullness oats throw another taste experience into the ring with a slightly fruity and exotic flavor.
The time has come to put your newfound knowledge to the test. No need to cram for this one. Put your pencils down, crack open the Tasting Box and remember:no looking at yourneighbor’spaper.
Bottoms up!
