2020 2020 Six Bottle Rose Sampler #2

Distilled nine times in very small batches. French copper Alambic stills are employed in the creation process, which takes several weeks from start to finish. Made from French wheat and spring water from the Cognac area, this vodka created for ultimate smoothness.

Cane Origin: Java varietal Santa Maria Tlalixtac, Oaxaca 2,500-3,800 feet above sea level

Fermentation: 5-10 days in stainless steel tanks with ambient yeast

Distillation: By Axel and William Krassel in September 2021 on an 8-plate column still

Aging: 24 months in an ex-Bourbon cask in a humid climate, 9% angel’s share

This blend comes from two different casks: Cask 1 was distilled by brothers Axel & William with their handmade column still; Cask 2 consists of a heady rum from older brother Rommel’s copper alembic still. The combination of the three brother’s distillates is well-balanced and pops with bright, herbal, and chocolate notes that shine through the finish.
