UV Vodka (175cl, 40%)

UV Vodka is a four-times distilled American corn vodka bottled at 40% ABV in a 1.75-litre handle format. It is produced by Phillips Distilling Company, a Minneapolis-based spirits house with roots tracing back to 1912. The vodka is made from yellow #2 corn grown in the American Midwest, distilled four times and passed through activated carbon filtration. It is blended with water drawn from deep aquifers near Princeton, Minnesota. On the nose it is largely neutral, with a faint grain-like sweetness and the slightest whisper of wheat. The palate is soft and smooth, with gentle hints of allspice and vanilla and a clean, lightly sweet grain character. The finish is warm and measured, with lingering vanilla, allspice and a touch of white pepper.
