Charbay Clear Vodka - 1L

Charbay Clear Vodka shines in crisp, clean cocktails that let its smooth character take center stage, making it perfect for martinis and other spirit-forward drinks. Its versatility also allows it to be savored neat or on the rocks, especially on warm summer evenings, and its subtle complexity pairs beautifully with light appetizers like fresh oysters or citrus-marinated seafood.

Nose: Clean and crisp with subtle hints of fresh grain and a touch of lemon zest. There's a faint sweetness reminiscent of vanilla bean, balanced by a mild peppery note.

Palate: Smooth and velvety texture. Initial flavors of whole wheat bread and toasted almonds give way to a gentle sweetness. Light mineral qualities emerge, reminiscent of pure spring water. A whisper of citrus adds brightness.

Finish: Medium-length with a clean, warming sensation. Leaves a pleasant tingle of white pepper and a lingering hint of sweet grain. The finish is remarkably pure, with no harsh alcohol burn.

Charbay Clear Vodka is crafted using a unique four-column distillation process that creates an exceptionally pure and smooth spirit. The vodka is made from high-quality Midwest corn and rye, which are fermented and distilled in small batches, allowing for precise control over flavor development and resulting in a clean, crisp vodka with subtle hints of vanilla and grain.

• Charbay Clear Vodka is distilled from 100% organic Midwestern corn, but what makes it truly unique is that it's filtered through 10 feet of natural maple charcoal. This process, inspired by whiskey-making techniques, imparts a subtle sweetness and exceptionally smooth finish.
• The master distiller behind Charbay, Marko Karakasevic, is a 13th generation distiller whose family has been crafting spirits since 1751. He personally tastes and approves every batch of Charbay Clear Vodka before it's bottled.
• Unlike most vodkas that are distilled dozens of times, Charbay Clear is only distilled four times. This minimal distillation preserves more of the corn's natural character, resulting in a vodka with a distinct personality that shines in cocktails and can even be enjoyed neat.
