Review: Brilliant Vodka

by Jeff Ellingson

Brilliant Vodka is crafted at Lifted Spirits in Kansas City Missouri.  Michael Stuckey opened the distillery December 2016 in a building originally used as a stable for the Smith Brothers Steam Bakery.  The distillery located in the Crossroads neighborhood of Kansas City also makes 3 gins, a rye, and absinthe. Brilliant Vodka is made from soft white organic wheat and reverse osmosis water.  A precisely selected filtration process follows before bottling.  The aroma leads with fresh milled wheat.  Additional time brings out lemon.  The sweet citrus entry has orange and lemon notes building to a lemon raspberry peak.  It fades with lemon pastry and finishes milky with white pepper, raspberry sherbet, and whole orange.
