Review: Enchanted Rock Peach Vodka
Enchanted Rock Peach Vodka was introduced in 2014. It is made at the Rebecca Creek Distillery that was founded in 2009 by Steve Ison. Enchanted Rock is named for the large pink granite rock that shares its name, and is a National Landmark that covers 640 acres in Fredericksburg Texas. ER Peach is crafted from 100% corn and distilled in a Christian Carl copper pot still. From there the spirits enter in vapor form under pressure into a modern 6 plate copper column still where the spirit is distilled 10 times. The flavor is then rounded out using a proprietary 28 degree frost filtration process. The temperature is first reduced to 28 degrees and then the chilled vodka is passed under pressure through 25 microfiber paper filters. Pure limestone filtered water is blended to reduce to proof. Fresh peach juice from Fredericksburg Texas grown peaches is infused with the vodka base before bottling at 70 proof.The aroma is fresh smashed peaches, and vanilla with a vodka backing. The sweet juicy entry is joined by vanilla flavor building to a tart peach peak. It fades with a warm mild peppery sting with corn vodka flavor arriving on the smooth finish. Enchanted Rock Peach has a natural peach flavor that has a lightly sweetened taste that leans more towards vanilla than sugar. I would describe Enchanted Rock Peach vodka as an adult peach vodka that balances natural peach taste with a smooth vodka finish.
