Blue Corn Vodka

Blue Corn Vodka Wine Details
Price:

Description: New Mexico’s ancient Anasazi Indians grew the mystical blue corn for its uniquely sweet taste. Blue Corn is the sweetest of the four corns. The corn’s natural sweetness is gently captured through first our whole kernel fermentation using malted grain that is not cooked. Second, our slow even pot distillation at high elevation results in a milky, slightly sweet vodka like no others. We are very proud to have accomplished something that has not been done in the Spirits world in quite some time...created a new spirits genre. In addition to being a truly New Mexico product, our Blue Corn Vodka redefines what a vodka should be. No longer confined to cocktails, this silky sweet spirit was made for sipping. Our production process is as unique as is our use of blue corn and natural enzymes. We use organically grown blue corn that we malt by hand and then distill in a pot-style Alembic still to preserve the silky smoothness and soft aroma the magical blue corn provides.

Varietal Definition
Vodka:
Vodka is one of the world's most popular distilled beverages. It is a clear liquid which consists of mostly water and ethanol purified by distillation — often multiple distillation — from a fermented substance such as potatoes, grain (usually rye or wheat) or sugar beet molasses, and an insignificant amount of other substances such as flavorings or unintended impurities.
