Review: Moon Mountain Wild Raspberry Vodka
Moon Mountain Wild Raspberry vodka was introduced by Diageo with their Coastal Citrus, and Artisanal unflavored vodka November 2010. While I still find this vodka on the shelves of liquor stores, their website now directs me to bar.com. The Moon Mountain name was inspired by the Sonoma California vineyard where master distiller Gerry Webb took his inspiration to craft a vodka with the same love and detail as a fine wine. Ironically this vineyard is now closed. Moon Mountain uses the finest corn grown in Minnesota and Indiana and distill the vodka twice in Plainfield Illinois. A third distillation in a copper pot still originally made in Scotland in 1934 and used to create gin follows. Purified water and a state of the art filtration follows, before natural organic flavors including wild raspberry and elderberry extract are added in Lawrenceburg Indiana where it is bottled at 70 proof.
