Review: Peony Vodka
Peony Vodka was created by Three Meadows Spirits founder Leslie Farhangi. The uncomplicated country-living lifestyle found in Dutchess County, located one hundred miles north of New York City was the inspiration for the brand. Peony Vodka has an all women management team and 80% of the founding investors are also self-made women. Peony Vodka is distilled five times from American wheat, then filtered twice through charcoal. The spirit is then blended with distilled water that has been further purified by reverse osmosis. Nine ingredients, all naturally occurring botanical essence, including Peony, Geranium, Vanilla, Jasmine, White Pepper, and Gardenia are infused with the vodka. Peony Vodka is then ready to occupy the bottle designed by Alexander Isley that is illustrated with three different scenes evoking Hudson Valley country life by Romy Blumel. Those scenes pop through the peony when the bottle is back lit. Read more
