Weekend Inspiration｜Castle & Key Sacred Spring Vodka｜ Other Products

Sacred Spring is vodka made from bourbon mash, and VinePair put it on its list of the 20 best vodkas in the world. Castle & Key — the distillery that resurrected Colonel E.H. Taylor's 1887 Old Taylor Distillery in Millville, Kentucky — refuses to buy neutral grain spirit, so its vodka starts from the same recipe as its bourbon: 73% white corn from Walnut Grove Farm, 10% German rye, and 17% malted barley, fermented and distilled first on a 50-foot Vendome copper column, then a 600-gallon copper pot still, then a custom Vendome vodka still, and proofed with limestone water from the key-shaped spring at the heart of the grounds that gives the vodka its name. Non-chill filtered, 40% ABV. Skurnik calls it a whiskey drinker's vodka — the cereal richness of the bourbon mash producing a clean, lightly sweet spirit with an unctuous, silky texture, brimming with sweet and spicy grain, dried fruit, and nuts, among the most characterful American vodkas on the market. VinePair: sweet and spicy grain with hints of candy and flowers, layered and nuanced. Castle & Key's notes: cashew and citrus on the nose, vanilla bean and buttered multigrain toast on the palate, a silky, lingering finish. Honest note: Drinkhacker found the whiskey origins unmistakable and the funk hard to place — this is not a neutral vodka, and drinkers who want one should look elsewhere. For a Martini with grain character, a Bloody Mary, or an Old Fashioned riff, it's vodka from a bourbon distillery that colors outside the lines.Buy Castle & Key Sacred Spring Vodka online with fast shipping right to your door.
