Review: Rosa Vodka
Rosa Vodka was recently released. This should not be confused with the many Rose wine flavored spirits on the market today. Rosa is a natural rose infused vodka owned and produced by Manamira LLC, a female owned company based in California. The vodka base is distilled in Portland Oregon from a premium blend of organic non-GMO corn and the finest Cascade Mountain Spring water filtered for three days in a specialized filtration of limestone and charcoal. Bulgarian Damascena Rose essence are infused before bottling at 80 proof. Bulgarian Damascena Roses were brought to Bulgaria by the Ottoman Turks. The roses are grown for oil production and harvested only six weeks in the spring for the freshest and most vibrant flavors and aromas. The aroma leads with boiled corn. Additional time in the glass brings out fresh cut rose. The sweet floral entry builds to an elegant fresh rose peak. It fades with sweet organic corn and raspberry and finishes warm with a mild sting and natural rose flavor. Rosa is a true original. It is a vodka you will want to share with your friends, but only if you have more than one bottle.

This vodka is amazingly smooth and mixes great with all drinks. As a vodka drinker, I think this is the smoothest one out there…well balanced, great body and a the rose essence is distinctive and subtle. I drink it neat and LOVE it!
