Sterling Vodka (175cl, 40%)

Sterling Vodka is a British wheat vodka produced at Cameronbridge in Scotland and bottled at 40% ABV in a 1.75 litre format. It is distilled from wheat neutral spirit, then redistilled in copper pot stills over 220 years old, the same stills used for Tanqueray gin. The result is a vodka with mineral refinement and a silky texture. On the nose it is clean and mineral-driven, with cracked black pepper and faint roasted brazil nut. The palate is silky, with mild wheat softness, building pepper spice, faint aniseed and liquorice. The finish is long, with clean black pepper, faint charcoal and lingering aniseed.
