“Drink higher vodka,” a ringer across the neck of Salvation Spirits Premium Vodka instructions. Presumably, the instruction pertains to the bottle in hand — made in Fredericksburg, Texas from a thriller course of that the corporate doesn’t reveal. Per Salvation: “Right here’s what we are able to let you know: premium substances, superior know-how, the elimination of greed from the distillation course of, and the addition of affection and a focus gave start to this distinctive spirit.”
So yeah, we don’t even know what that is produced from.
Salvation additionally makes a fairly good gin, and so they’re cagey about what’s in that, too.
Anyway, let’s strive it.
Salvation Spirits Vodka Evaluation
Salvation Spirits Vodka successfully blurs the road between Previous and New World vodka expressions, its nostril reasonably medicinal however that includes brighter parts of lemon and mint, although each are faint at greatest.
The palate eschews the sharp Band-Support parts seen on the nostril from the soar, leaning right into a modest creaminess that evokes coconut nectar, almond nougat, and spun sugar — earlier than lastly taking a half-step again and letting among the vodka’s sharper notes add some warmth. This burn is nonetheless decidedly delicate — rather more nuanced than the nostril would connote — with nuttier notes, heavy on marzipan, constructing because the end approaches.
The general expertise is clear and fascinating, and it is a vodka that drinks completely properly by itself or in tall drinks, even at room temperature. With dry vermouth the calculus is rather less balanced, as Salvation feels a bit too candy on the tongue to make for a stable martini, however for those who play with the cocktail’s ingredient ratios I believe you may muddle by way of with it.
