Vermont Spirits Limited Release Vodka

Filed under: Spirits

Milk and maple syrup are two of Vermont's biggest industries and they both are used by Vermont Spirits to make vodka. The producer of Vermont Gold and Vermont White vodkas has announced the Vermont Spirits Limited Release Vodka. Like the Vermont Gold this vodka is made from the sap of maple trees but the limited release uses only early run sap. Each spring as the weather warms, maples release the converted starch they have stored in the winter season as sap which flows for less than six week a year. The early run sap is lighter and has a more delicate flavor. Once collected, the maple sap is concentrated in a maple arch, fermented and distilled in small batches before bottling. A mature tree will produce about 40 quarts of sap in a season. It takes the sap from an entire tree to produce a single bottle of vodka. Fewer than 1,000 hand-numbered 375ml bottles of the spirit were produced. It will be available at retailers in New York, Massachusetts and Vermont and sells for $45.

Cow's Milk Vodka?!

Here's a new one for you ... ever wondered what else could possibly be used to distill into the clear liquor we call Vodka? Two new possibilities include maple sugar and cow's milk. You heard me correctly. Milk makes vodka. We've recently learned that even apples make a decent spirit called Core...but milk?! Vermont Spirits crafts this unique distilled beverage called White Vodka which was inspired by Tuvan Milk Vodka. It is distilled from pure milk sugar and Vermont spring water and bottled in small batches. Their website even kick-starts your enjoyment with a couple of serving suggestions in case the only thing you could think of to make was White Russians. Their other unique product is a Gold Vodka which is made from sweet maple sap and Vermont spring water. Now that sounds tasty!
