Review: Striped Vodka
Striped Vodka was first released September 2013. It is crafted at the Striped Pig Distillery in Charleston South Carolina. In 1838 the 15-Gallon act was passed which made the sale of alcohol illegal in any quantity under 15 gallons. To circumvent this law a true entrepreneur charged guests 4 pense to see a pig painted in strips. In return the guests were served a free glass of liquor. The Striped Pig distillery takes its name from this ploy to elude the Temperance law. Striped Vodka is made from 100% locally grown corn harvested at Myer’s farm in Bowman South Carolina. The corn is milled onsite at the distillery to exact specifications. It is small batch fermented with carefully selected strains of yeast and distilled five times. The vodka is rested before bottling on site. The aroma is popcorn and vanilla custard with a corn alcohol backing. The soft creamy vanilla entry builds to a vanilla, lemonade, and creamed corn peak. It fades with vanilla custard, lemon sorbet, and cinnamon flavor and finishes bittersweet with lemon peel, milk, black licorice and a crisp peppery sting.
