What is Hangar 1 Vodka?
Hangar 1 Vodka stands out by blending wheat-based neutral spirits with vodka distilled from Viognier grapes, creating a uniquely smooth and subtly fruity profile. Interestingly, it's produced in a repurposed aircraft hangar at the former Alameda Naval Air Station in California, giving it a genuine aviation heritage that adds to its cool factor.
Why do we love Hangar 1 Vodka?
Hangar 1 Vodka stands out for its unique blend of Midwestern grains and California grapes, resulting in a perfectly balanced spirit with subtle fruity notes and a smooth, slightly floral finish that elevates cocktails without overpowering other ingredients.
How do you drink Hangar 1 Vodka?
Hangar 1 Vodka shines in crisp, fruit-forward cocktails or simply chilled and sipped neat to appreciate its subtle floral notes; it's an excellent choice for warm summer evenings, pairing beautifully with light appetizers like fresh seafood or citrus-dressed salads.
Nose: Clean and subtle with hints of fresh citrus peel, particularly lemon and lime. A delicate floral note reminiscent of jasmine tea leaves lingers in the background, accompanied by a faint whisper of vanilla.
Palate: Smooth and creamy texture with a gentle warmth. Initial flavors of ripe pear and green apple give way to a soft, grainy sweetness. A touch of white pepper spice adds complexity without overwhelming the palate. The grape influence is subtle but noticeable, offering a unique fruity depth.
Finish: Medium-long and clean. A pleasant warmth spreads across the palate, leaving behind traces of sweet grain, a hint of grape skin, and a whisper of lemon zest. The finish is remarkably smooth with minimal alcohol burn, making it highly sippable neat or an excellent base for cocktails.
Hangar 1 Vodka is uniquely crafted by blending a wheat-based neutral spirit with vodka distilled from Viognier grapes, resulting in a smooth, balanced spirit with subtle fruity notes.
