Last Week's Tasting Notes

The folks from Upstate Distilling Co. joined us to pour Blinders Vodka and Ryen's Rye! 
​
Blinders Vodka ($33.99)

From the producer:
"We set out to develop a vodka with character, complex taste, and a smooth mouth feel. To accomplish that, we made our vodka with a blend of wheat and rye. Vanilla notes dance on the tongue initially, while the creamy texture sets in. Finally, peppery, spicy notes finish the flavor, while leaving the tongue feeling warm."

From me:
I'm a huge fan of this vodka, partly because it's delicious, but also because it is truly crafted in Saratoga, and made with 100% New York ingredients. I love the spicy rye bite on the finish of this vodka--it's what I would choose for a Martini or a vodka tonic.

Ryen's Rye ($48.99)
From the producer:
"In the past, New York was known to be the rye whiskey capital; Ryen’s Rye is made to bring the title back home. The strong pepper and honey notes come from organic rye grain grown in Trumansburg, NY. Traditionalists will enjoy what Ryen has done with his whiskey." 

From me:
This Rye is tasty and has a nice punch to it, though the mouth feel is smooth. It's a great Rye to use for those old-timey cocktails that are all the rage.
