Ciroc Pineapple Vodka (75cl, 35%)

Ciroc Pineapple Vodka is a flavoured vodka distilled from French grapes and infused with natural pineapple and other natural flavours. The base uses Mauzac Blanc from Gaillac and Ugni Blanc from the Cognac region, cold-fermented into wine, distilled four times in column stills and once in a tailor-made copper pot still at Chevanceaux. The pineapple reads freshly crushed rather than candied, keeping the grape spirit's silky texture. Per Diageo's notes, the nose shows freshly crushed pineapple and tropical fruit; the palate is succulent pineapple with a subtle hint of vanilla; the finish is silky and smooth.
