Review: Black Fig Vodka
Black Fig Vodka is one of two whole fruit flavor infused vodka’s produced by Black Infusions at the Bend Distillery in Tumalo Oregon. The other flavor is Golden Apricot. This distillery also produces Crater Lake Vodka. Black Fig Vodka was awarded a Double Gold Medal and named the best flavored vodka at the 2017 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Black Fig is made from a vodka base of corn and is distilled 5 times in a copper column still. The spirit is filtered five times through carbon and again through lava rocks. Pure Cascade Mountain water is blended to reduce to proof. Whole Northern California grown dried figs are then infused with the vodka base for 4-6 weeks. A light filtering follows to retain the natural flavor and amber hue. Black Fig is then hand bottled onsite. Read more
