Hanson Of Sonoma Meyer Lemon Vodka 750ml
Hanson of Sonoma is the family-run distillery founded by brothers Chris and Brandon Hanson, built around the idea of crafting organic vodka from California grapes rather than the grain most producers rely on. The Meyer Lemon expression grew out of a chance connection with a local Sonoma family farm growing the fruit, a partnership the Hansons found impossible to pass up given their commitment to sourcing organic ingredients close to home. It has since become one of the brand's most recognized flavored offerings, regularly cited among the standout picks in roundups of the best flavored vodkas on the market.
Every Hanson vodka begins with organic grapes rather than grain, distilled to produce a naturally smooth, clean base spirit. For the Meyer Lemon expression, fresh organic lemons sourced from that local partner farm are peeled entirely by hand, and the peels then undergo a long maceration period in Hanson's Original Vodka to draw out their flavor. The finished product remains 100 percent USDA certified organic, non-GMO, gluten free, and contains no added sugar or carbohydrates.
The nose carries a spicy bergamot quality rather than straightforward lemon, giving the aroma more depth than a typical citrus vodka. On the palate, herbal notes come forward, adding complexity beneath the bright, sweet citrus character. The finish closes with an unexpected kick of spice, rounding out a profile that reads as bright and tart with a distinctive, slightly savory edge.
