Review: Blue Ice Creme Brulee Vodka
Blue Ice Crème Brulee vodka was introduced April 2014. It is one of four vodka flavors created by LA based 21st Century Spirits at Distilled Resources in Rigby Idaho. The other flavors include, Blue Raspberry, Island Coconut, and Sweet Peach. This vodka is made with pristine Idaho mountain spring water and wheat neutral spirits. A four column fractional distillation process is used, followed by a five step filtration process. It is filtered through charcoal, a filter press, travertine, garnet and crystal and finally a submicron filter. Natural flavors are added before bottling at 60 proof. Crème Brulee is French for burnt crème, and for those unfamiliar with the popular dessert, it is made with eggs, sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream.The aroma is vanilla cake batter with a hint of cream and toffee. The creamy vanilla custard flavor is joined by some caramel notes before a spicy finish with a hint of anise and vodka flavor. There is a mild burn as I swallow. Served on the rocks softens the heat and sting on the finish.
