Black Cow Pure Milk Vodka (75cl, 40%)

Black Cow is an English vodka made from milk, distilled at Black Cow Distillery in West Dorset and bottled at 40% in a 75cl bottle. It was created by dairy farmer Jason Barber and launched in 2012. The base is the whey left over from cheesemaking with milk from grass-grazed cows. The whey is fermented with a yeast that turns the milk sugar into alcohol, then distilled, triple-filtered and hand-bottled on the farm. The nose is clean and subtly creamy, with a gentle sweetness. On the palate it is soft, rounded and smooth, and the finish is gentle and clean, with a light creamy note.
