Review: Ann Arbor Wheat Vodka
Ann Arbor Wheat Vodka is crafted at Ann Arbor Distilling Company in Ann Arbor Michigan. At one time they also produced Walter Hill Vodka, a vodka distilled from corn. The Ann Arbor Distilling Company produces several Arbor Seasonal Gins, Fox River Bourbon, Rye, and Michigan Whiskey, Spaulding’s Peppermint Schnapps & Coffee Liqueur, Walter Hill Fruit Liqueurs and Absinthe. Rob Cleveland and Ari Sussman built the distillery in a former flour mill originally constructed in 1924. John Britton is now the Lead Distiller. Ann Arbor Wheat Vodka is made from wheat grown on Wing Farms located five miles from the distillery. It is single distilled on a copper and stainless steel custom Carl still built in Germany. Ann Arbor Wheat Vodka is bottled unfiltered. The aroma leads with vanilla. Apple strudel follows. The sweet vanilla entry has a soft creamy mouth feel building to a soft wheat pastry and apple peak. It fades with milky wheat, and finishes with black licorice, fresh milled wheat, spiced apple, and sweet vanilla.
