Berkshire Mountain Distillers Greylock Vodka - 750ML
Berkshire Mountain Distillers' Ice Glen Vodka is hand crafted in small batches at the Berkshire’s first legal distillery since prohibition. The neutral spirit is blended with pure spring water from an on-site historic spring. It is then charcoal filtered to create a vodka of exceptional sipping quality.
Brilliant and clean with a wonderfully eloquent body. A smooth lasting finish with hints of mint honey and white flower, yet no heat.
“Clear. Mild honeydew and cream aromas. A supple entry leads to a dryish medium body with hints of eucalyptus honey. Finishes with a peppery, light minty fade. Excellent.”
