BOYD & BLAIR PENNSYLVANIA Boyd & Blair Potato Vodka 80pf #30109662 / 750ml

HIGH WEST PARK CITY, UTAH High West Oat Grain Vodka 7000’ #30078749 / 750ml

This is a small batch vodka made in Pennsylvania from locally grown potatoes by two guys using a copper still, a more artisanal method than the column stills typically used for vodka. The result is a softer, creamier style of vodka that is milder on the palate than most. This is vodka made by people who really care about quality and precision, and that’s obvious at first sip. Named “TOP VODKA” 3 years in a row by the Spirit Journal: “Entry is nothing short of luscious, semisweet, chewy, and smooth; midpalate adds cocoa bean, maple, and honey. Aftertaste is graceful, solid, and simply delicious. The best small- scale vodka I’ve had... So sumptuous and tasty that it’s spectacular tasted neat. Best non-Polish vodka available. AWESOME ACHIEVEMENT!” - F. Paul Pacult Created with both professional bartenders and home mixologists in mind. Like the 80 Proof, it is handcrafted in small batches from locally-grown Pennsylvania potatoes, but this release is bottled at 151 proof—the perfect base for creating bitters, liqueurs, aperitifs, classic punches and more. “...pleasing and firmly structured; midpalate is tight as a drum, sweet, nicely oily/viscous, creamy and deep. A new direction for supersized vodka from distillers who know what they are doing.” 5 Stars Highly Recommended, F. Paul Pacult’s Spirit Journal 95pts Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2016/17 Boyd & Blair Professional 151 Vodka #30109665 / 750ml

More costly and difficult to distill, this vodka is made from oats, which impart their subtle nutty and vanilla flavor. As far as we know this is the world’s only oat grain vodka. Distilled at 7,000 feet in Park City, Utah at the bottom of a ski slope. Small-batch, mountain crafted. 92pts “Clean, smooth and silky”, Tasting Panel Magazine “Highly Recommended” F. Paul Pacult, Spirit Journal JEWEL OF RUSSIA RUSSIA Oh, and what a jewel it is! A blend of hardwinter wheat and rye, distilled five times. Filtered five times through paper, sand and a special signature charcoal technique from the Chernogolovka distillery where it’s made, the result is waterclear with a grainy, fruity nose, a plump, oily texture and a minerality seldom found in vodka these days. This is bold and brash and makes no apologies—the way Russian vodka is supposed to be. #1 OVER STOLI & THE GOOSE Classic #30131855 / 1L 93pts Wine Enthusiast “Top 3 Vodkas” The Wall Street Journal #1 World Class Vodka 9.9 out of 10, beating Stoli Elite, Grey Goose, Chopin, Skyy 90, and more, Russian Life Mag.
